Just invested in a new Non-Strech rope... It is 60 feet with three 5 foot extensions... Plus the seperate handle that im going to attach...
What distance should a Beginning Wakeboarder ride at? |

| Whatever you feel comfortable with. At first, when I first started doing w2w stuff and clearing the wake, I was at 45 feet (somewhat short, but I will admit it). Then once I was comfortable enough with my air and small amount of tricks, I went to 55 feet because I needed the extra hang time to increase the amount of tricks that I can do. However, some people's wakes are different than others, so it comes down to what you feel is comfortable, and how the wake is at that length. |

| Just set it to where your wake is nice. If you have an I.O you will probably stay here unless you change speed, but if you drive an inboard, you could go back to the longest. Just mess around with it. |
