rope length

In a lot of wake to wake pics i see it seems like the wake is really narrow, I was just wondering at what length people usually ride at.

I ride at 75ft when ever i have that rope around, but usually at 65 when im using my rope cause its only 65ft long.

70 footer plus 3 foot handle

ussually ill start the day a little shorter than slowly let links out when i get a little charged up and try different stuff going bigg.

id rather see someone get some hang time than little skips over a narrow wake.

not saying it aint cool, like a bunch of the "steez" (i hate this word) nazi's here but just the way i do it.

It really depends what your riding behind. If your riding behind something that throws a huge wake you could go out to 70+ feet easily. Ive ridden behind a little fishing boat at 45 feet though. Just try to get in the spot where the wake is the where you like it.

I use about 65-70 on a decent wake, also depends on how wide of a wake the boat puts out...on ski about 60~

yeah behind my x-7 60 is about right due to the wake. but behind my buddys nauti i was riding 70 + 5ft handle with tanks pretty much full, never flew so far in my life Smile

ya Nautiques wakes are super narrow...I ride like 65-70 behind our Tige at like 19-21 mph. I find X series and Tige wakes are very similar. all depends on what your riding

It really depends on the boat, the wake width on my Moomba at 55' plus handle is about the same width as my buddys Super Air with 70' plus handle.
