Hi

Posted my question at the lady lounge but think I should have posted it here.
Lots of really good tips to read on this forum. thank you.
Been out wakeboarding 3 times. Last time I tryed going w2w, but didn't do to good. Anyone with any tips on how to do it???? I have no idea.
I'm boardig at sea with a really old Selco 16", any idea how long the rope should be?? I've just used to whole length! I have a hyperlite cruiser board 140cm. I am 160cm and almost 50 kg. Is the board to big? They told me it's a good beginnerboard but it's pretty heavy.

i have a huge board for my size but im almost going w2w but i havent ever been at sea so not much help there but a lot of people pull the rope in one notch if they have a loop on them so try taking 5ft off the rope sorry i dont know what that translates to in meters probably about 1 and a half meters or somthin hope this helps

For going wake to wake make sure you take you a good edge back towards the wake, keep your weight balanced on both feet, and just un bend your knees as you ride up the wave, dont try to jump up out of your board, also make sure you keep you rope tight the whole time, you dont want slack.
