you dont need to worry about height as much as you need to worry about the angle, dont make it too steep or it wont be fun _________________ "it's just wakeskating, no one knows who you are............ except for maybe some kids on the internet" Nick Sloan |

KirbyJosh, agreed....make it so you dont have to be really concentrated on your balance while on it, so you might want to make it more of a mellow incline _________________ -Cape Canaveral- |

bobby211, I'd suggest angles in between 12-14°. ours is 14,7° and a little to steep. but once again it's all personal choice...
