it all depends most people around here ride at 70, when my buddies go behind an air nautique they go out to like 80 though, id say 70 feet would be good

i've ridden everywhere from 65' to 85' out just get you a nice rope with 5' removable sections. most straight line, accurate, and masterline ropes come that way. and be sure to look at what the company says about their length some measure including handle and some without. accurate measures with it. 5' will make a big difference on the distance between the wakes when you jump. handles are all 5' from grip to tie. peace homie.

personal preference really. I've ridden from 55 to 70. This year Ill prolly either do 60 or 65. I just bought a non stretch rope, so well see what that does for me.

I'm always told to get a stretch rope, as this should build up some tension
I'm riding 65...

try and see what you like most

have fun
Cool
