What boat speed, weight setup, and line length are you all using for wake to wake tricks?

i just noticed that grubb's new a-line is 80' long. THat seems huge. Do any of you all know how fast he goes?

i'm riding a 43' concave, 22.5mph, vlx+1500lbs+wedge, and 65' plus handle.

I ride 65ft (inc handle) byerly skate, 21.5mph, no ballast, SAN right now. I can let it out 5 more feet no problem and bump it up it .5 but I am less comfortable trying new moves.

Grubb goes 24ish, at least he did 2 years ago when he was out here for a demo.

I ride my broken bi-level 42 at 70' doing around 22 with around 1500lbs of ballast. Grubb's board is around 43" plus being composite it allows him to ride a longer rope at higher speeds...at least that's the way I figuire things.

I think hes just good and hes pretty tall and rides like a fricken 43' and thats huge.
plus he has always been into wake to wake tricks..

I think it's all preference. You could ride with a shorter rope and at a lower speed and have as much air time on your w2w than with a long rope and high speed
