bigger air. however on some boats like a few of the I/O's i have ridden behind a rope that is too long puts you back where the wake is washed out and sloppy. also when i bring newbies along i shorten the rope up for them because there is a smaller gap w2w which is easier for them to clear.

Yeah, a longer rope allows you to cut farther away from the boat so you can have more speed on your edge coming into the wake. The only disadvantage is that the wake is usually harder to clear when you are farther back.
