70 feet, at 23-24 mph. However i have a Wakesetter LSV which is 23 feet, so the wake is considerably wider than a VLX (21 feet). On a VLX i ride at 75

Go at your normal wakeboard speed with the normal ammt of weight that you use. Watch where the wake is at its highest point right before it curls over. That's where the wakeboarder should be. detach your rope from the pylon and let it drag behind the boat until it hits that point..voila..now you can hit it with the best of them.

good to make sure the rope doesnt stretch much or at all...accurate makes good ropes
