Where is this? Like right before it starts to curl over or what? I have a 93 prostar 205 and i ride at 60 ft, does anyone have any suggestions of where I should ride... the wake looks alittle bigger, I tried 70 ft but it wasn't working, should i try 65? thanks

I rode behind a mid 90's 205 - I had my rope at 60' plus the handle 5' it was a pretty sweet spot (800 # sack in the back & a 500 # sack in the front)

normaly you want the wake to curl just behind the rider.

It also depends on speed. If you are going slower the wake will curl over earlier so you won't be able to ride as far back. I like riding at about 70' feet going about 21 mph behind a BU.

if you have trouble finding it, go the speed that you know you like to go, (with no rider out there). and then let your rope out to the right spot, then use that length.
