I was wondering what you would say a good height is when busting some 3's, rolls, and harder grabs

Well height isn't really an issue.. It's HOW you get that height.

Rope Tension = Pop = Height

Heights will vary for those because it's possible to do a 3 right off flat, along with Bel Airs (Tantrums in flats, although way different approach). By harder grabs, you probably mean glides (raley + grab Confused ) and yeah, you'll need height for those.

Quite a bit it doest feel like its alot of time in the air, but usually its enough to do the trick u want to do. Just start small, and once u have a grab down, then push a little harder into the wake and learn how to tweak it with your style.

dude have someone videotape you doing a wakejump or really good jump. watch the tape and you will see how much time you have. It's a hell of a lot more than it feels like. and for grabs, tuck your legs in and bring the board to you; most riders try to bend over, this will make you faceplant more
