Rope length ?

[wakeskatergirl006]

I was wondering what a good length is to ride behind on a boat. My two friends that wakeboard with me say it's better to be shorter on a skate but longer on a wakeboard?

I just always went by the boat that I'm on... I just let the rope out to the point that I think the wake will be the best on the particular boat that I am on.

Exactly... I ride with a 75 feet rope after most boats, if you go a little shorter you'll find it easier clearing the wakes. Most of my friends who wakeboards usually rides with a 70-80 feet rope, it's not necessary, that just because you wakeskate, have to ride with a shorter rope...
