Depends on your boat, wake, weight, size..... 22-25mph.... usually.

Just start off slow and speed up till it gets nice and clear, but like tram said I wouldn't go over 25

ok, thank you, so I got to speed up a little bit, I use to keep theboat around 15-18 knots, for me right now it's enough, than, improvin', I should change my whaler 15(90 hp) pretty much fast, but the problem is that runnin' 25 knots the boat will jump higher than me.......

beginnners usually are pulled at 18-19, more epierienced riders up to 24 or so. i wakeboard at 22 and wakeskate at 19.

I was wondering how quickly you speed up to the 18-19mph? Do you pick up speed really quickly like in skiing? Thanks!

ya what Ledmech said is correct... Progress slowly until u hit a speed that works for you... Watch your wake as well
