How long? I think a lot of people would recommend the Accurate Chamois package. Comes with either 70 foot X-Line or 80-foot A-Line.

Here: http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.php?cPath=67_55_77&products_id=4359
and Here: http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.php?cPath=67_55_77&products_id=606

While not under $100, you can get the X-Line for under $110 if you use the code forumuser at checkout. My X-Line just came today so I haven't gotten a chance to use it, but it looks fantastic and the handle feels amazing. The chamois handle wrap is nice and soft and should be a lot more comfortable than a rubber grip handle.

i just bought the Chamois A line combo from Boardstop and got the discount for being a forum member and got it delivered for $116. I ablsolutely love it and it is well worth it. so shell out the extra 16 bucks and rock the sickest combo out there.

I don't know the difference in the actual line, if there is any. The A-Line combo is longer at 85 feet with the handle and shortens to 80, 75, and 70 feet. The X-Line is 75 feet with the handle and shortens to 70, 65, and 60 feet. You could always tie your own loops, but I've seen people talking about cracking the coating that's on the line...but that's been with all the ropes with poly coatings no matter what brand. You can't go wrong with either, so just grab the one that covers the length you're used to riding.

I've got a small boat so my line needs to be pretty short to get to the good wake spot.

AFAIK, just the length.

I personally would go with the chamois because the mainline is coated with that plastic stuff so if a yahoo driver starts ripping the rope through your hands too fast it wont burn/abrade them.
