    rope length

    Just curious what length everyone rides with a 210. I'm at 65' now , but were new boarders.

    RE: rope length

    It really depends on speed and skill. Essentially the farther out the faster you go (boat speed) because the farther back you are the wider the wake is, the goal is to be able to go wake to wake with the wake still clean. Randy Harris rides about 90' off at 25.7 mph. personally I ride 75-80' off at about 22-23 mph. something interesting to experiment with. With the SAN the wake is clean clear back, and with the proper edging a longer line will actually allow you to go higher as well... So the idea behind a long length is to: go as high as possible while still landing wake to wake.
    How about \"Chales\"?

      Any suggestions on rope length with the 211? I just purchased a new 211 and very anxious for warm weather.

          i have a 211 and ride at 70-75' plus 5' handle @ 22.5.

          i find it easier to ride at a longer length, it allows more time for setup/./.
