I've been focusing more on technique and trying to learn new tricks so slowed the boat down and brought the rope in. I've been riding at 20.6 @ 55 (handle included). With that speed and line length, stock hard tanks full, front PnP full, and wedge down, little to nothing in the rear 750s.

I'm going to bump up the speed to 21-22 and start riding @60 or 65 depending on what puts me in the sweet spot. I will also add more weight to the rear bags and throw a bag on top of the front seats.

I had been riding at 19.8 and struggling with washout, followed several members advice and went put to 21.8 and cleared wake easily

Aaaaw hell Walter. Over 3 weeks ago I hyperextended my knee on a 3 landing. Didn't hurt much at the time but still can't extend my leg totally straight. I think I might have some damage in there as well. Probably get an MRI done soon

Thanks guys, Cody there is no perfect speed or length just play around with it until you find what is comfortable for YOU, I still change speed and rope length just for the hell of it because 1 I need to go faster so my board doesn't dig in and 2 I'm terrible on a wakeboard anyway so I just mix it up for fun.
