Hello,
i am about 4'10" and weigh 85lbs. i am wondering what rope length to use. Right now i am using a 55ft rope and can gap the wake toeside and heelside. I want to get higher and have more airtime to do better tricks. I also ride behind a malibu wakesetter vlx with full ballast}}}

Increase the rope length 5 ft, make sure you can clear hs and ts w2w, then do it again, Increase until your at 70 to 75 ft. You should also work on clearing switch hs and ts w2w at each length.

well... you are bigger than the 8 year old on my lake, and he goes w2w hs and ts behind a wakesetter lsv, x-2 and centurion avalanche, he rides anywheres from 60-65 ft at 20.5-22 mph... so start there and work your way to 70...

I just rode at 70 for the first time today; I used to ride at 65 and its a lot easier on the knees to not land out in the flats on every single jump.
