Question
I have like a fishing boat and i've been wakeboarding for like a month or two. The rope is attached down in the back of the boat and i can't get any height on my jumps. I can't do a wake to wake jump and i was wondering if the position of the rope mattered. Also, Is it the boat??

yeah, the wake size/shape makes a difference as well. But you should really be able to jump wake to wake if you're loading the line and using a good progressive edge

Wake type more than boat type......

I have seen kids pulling backroll's behind a Ranger Bass boat, it can be done you just need the right technique.
