how long ahould the rope be, i ride behind a boat that gives off a very small wake, i go from about 20-23mph andi was wondering how long the rope should be to make it most efective for jumping the wake and getting the most air time possible

I usually match the rope length up with the section of the wake that looks the best. The length can have an affect on jumping/air time, but I have found I get better results jsut matching up with the wake.

So you would really have to jsut get out and see where it works best on your boat, it all depends on the boat and the wake it throws out.

Where the wake is at "top" height and no wash ontop of it.
