For a 5 year old that is amazing! Anyone who says otherwise is pretty ignorant!

@bolomps38 it dosnt help you, but it makes you need more speed comming into the wake so you have to cut harder, pop more, and u get higher, so all it really does it makes it more challenging, but when you go to a competition the judges will notice your rope length and give you credit for it

@WeAreWakeboarders so how does different sizes of rope help you? so yeah if i was riding like 60-70 go like at 20-22 mph?

[WeAreWakeboarders]

@bolomps38 uh well it all depends on your boat, and if your running a 80 foot rope then usually you have to speed the boat up a bit, i was running a super air natique this summer for a bit and with the tanks full, i had to go 23.8 to get the sweet spot of the wake, but usually if your using a 60-70 rope then running at 20-21.5 should be the best way to get the sweet spot of the wake

You should go faster, get the white caps out of the wake it makes it SOOOOOOOOO much easier to jump when your board isnt being sucked down.
