it depends, i tend to ride a shorter rope becuase i dont have a wakeboard rope, and u dont want to ride in white wash, so try and let ur rope out to the piont where u have a good lip and ride at that

I was riding 85 on boat for a while, but it's been really long since I rode boat.

Now I ride 500-600 ft, depending which winch spot I'm hitting Wink

I ride behind a boat most of the time and ride at 60 to 65 cause the wake is smooth their.

For longer rope, you have to go faster. I was going 24.5 at 85' and it was fast. It was real fast, but really fun.

You just float for days up there going from one wake to the other Crazy Eyes
