well the standard wake rope is about 75 feet. most people ride between 65 and 80. it all depends on what you like and how far back the wake is best on your boat.

I ride at 65' plus the 5' handle, so 70' at 20mph. It allows me to comfortably clear wake2wake jumps.

depends on the boat for me. On my Sport Nautique I ride at 70' + the handle and on 89 skier's X-Star I ride at 60'+ the handle. But I like the wake to be harder and slightly more narrow than most.

70' plus handle behind Tige 22v. It usually depends on the boat youre behind, and your skill level.
