I'm looking for some suggestions from more experience riders on a few things. I'm currently riding behind a 230 Nautic Star outboard (no tower) with no additional weight and a 225 Yamaha . I'm using roughly a 70 foot rope (not a wakeboard rope) and hitting speeds of anywhere from 18-21. I'm comfortable riding switch and I'm getting good air from my heelside but having trouble clearing the entire wake. I'm guessing that using the right rope with have some positive effect on ability to clear the wake and shortening the rope would certainly make it easier. Is my speed going to make any dramatic difference in ability if I push it up to 22 or 23mph? Or should I keep the speed consistent and just go for the shorter rope? Any other suggestions are much appreciated.
