depends what kind of boat and wake you have, you dont want to ride to short because then you wont be able to go w2w as easy, and you dont want to ride to far and be in the washout stuff either, so depending on your boat your best bet is probably what parky said, 67', and like 21 or 22 mph, i ride at 67 and 22 because i like to go a little faster

yeah they say 18-21, but i feel at 18 that im just going too slow so i like 20-22 better

the more i wakeskate the faster i like to go. i started at like 19 but now i like around 23 or 24. maybe its because the water feels harder when you are going faster, so its a lot easier to pop higher and catch tricks higher.

i ride at 21.7 at 65 for a clean nice wake. any slower than 22 seems to slow for wakeskating and any shorter rope seems like ur right up behind the rooster tail.
