Pays to use the rope with the loops every 5 or 10 feet.
The lighter girls in our family like maybe 60 ft, the big boys in the family like 70.

Definitely, we moved from 70 to 75 and find it much more difficult to go wake to wake. It is fun pushing yourself to go bigger though. :eek:

it just depends. Some days I feel good and go 70, others it's 60 depends also on the load in my boat.

also, if I"m trying new tricks, I go shorter and slower behind the boat

My friends like to ride at 60ft... but I prefer 70ft. Though now that I am attempting a backflip I have shortened the line to 60ft to make sure I don't catch the lip of the wake.

65 feet is good since the children are still trying to jump W2W.

I agree. I have my kids at 65. Wannabe, I was just curious at what rope length most people are using.

I usually ride at '80 or '85 depending on how many people are in the boat.
