I ride at 22.5 pp all the time no matter what...some times I go between a 70 and 80 foot rope length depending on what trick I'm learning or having a hard time with.

And YES we are that picky..... hence the reason for Perfect Pass..

It all depends on the boat and wake. Usually it's somewhere between 22 and 24.

I like in the mid 23's depending on water condition. Perfect pass is deffinetly worth it. It'll make almost anyone look like a professional driver.

If the boat I ride behind went that fast, the wake would be messed.
