I noticed that there are wakeboard specific ropes.......I remember reading somewhere that they don't stretch as much as a ski rope..........

Is this a big deal or not?

Great, starting to piece it together. More ballast, Stand up straight and a wakeboard rope....all this should help.

Yes it makes a big difference. Make sure you get a non stretch rope.

A wakeboard rope is much, much shorter than a regular ski rope and is generally rigid...yes, it makes a big difference.
