He rides at 47 feet which puts him close to the rooster tail, but it has built his confidence level up. He is ridding behind my 2000 prostar 190 with about 1000lbs in it, at 19.8 mph.

The board is the Hyperlite Premier 124 with Liquid Force Ultras.

I am working on my 9 year olds Video now, but they take some time.

Turlte, the video is great! My 9 year old started when he was 7, however, he always rode at 75 foot. It's great watching them excel and how excited even the parents get at watching them. Looking at this video, it may be time to let that rope out a bit. Put him at 60 and see what he can do. You'll be amazed. Great Vid.

Very nice, I had my 4 year old out today, and he suprised me by riding the full length of the lake. He said he wanted to be like Dad! I have him riding at 70 feet, and he loves it. IE: squirt 122 with mini suctions. I think I get a better high watching him ride vs me landing a new trick. Keep up the good work and post some new video when you can. I will get some footage of my son riding this week and post it also.

He can clear the wake heelside at 65 feet, I want him to have good form, have fun, and not really know he is building his foundation this way. (With the shorter rope)

That is very cool!
my 6 yr old(Logan)is loving it this year but he is really just getting going and the end of the year is approaching. Your son looks very comfortable rippin it up. I can't wait to show this video to Logan.

He is so happy that his video is on the internet, he cannot get over that people in Japan can see him. What it would like to be that young again.

If he can already clear at 65. Keep it at 65. Keeping the rope at 45 will only have him at that level. I started my son who is now 9 at 7 years old at 75Ft. He has learned and advanced at 75.
My son rode a bike with training wheels when he was first starting and I eventually took them off. Time to let the rope out. See what he can do. Let the rope out and let's see some more vids. He'll be killing it I know.

I will try that!
