Just getting a feel for what speed most people ride at. I usually ride at about 21mph.

21mph at 60ft, my wake is the best with this set up.

Depends on the boat but I ride anywhere from 75 ft at 23mph to 90 ft at 26mph.

The further away you are the longer the rope meaning the further you can cut, jump everything. Plus the wake may not be bigger, but its more compact and harder to cut through meaning your going to get a swift kick in the shorts if you aren't ready for no give.

i try to keep is 20-22 lower speeds when trying new stuff but it really depends on the boat.
