I just ordered a White with charcoal striped A22, loaded. Being new to the wakeboard boat world (i used to own a fish and ski), i was wondering what is a good length rope to start with for wakeboarding off this boat.

check out a wakeboard package combo. The LG combo series from proline are good rope/handles. Most wake ropes have knock offs from 65 feet and up.

Thanks for the info, but what i'm looking for is what lenghts other people are boarding at, i've been boarding for about 4 years so i have some experience but not on a wakeboard style boat. I was riding at about 55 feet off the fish and ski because that's the only place the wake was decient!!! Just trying to figure this out so i don't have to come on and off the rope a bunch to adjust the lenght. Thanks

I board at 75 or 80 depending on how the boat is weighted and run 24.2 mph . Length will depend on speed and weight. I would start at 65 and play with the length to see what best fits your style and skill level.

The wake behind the axis is very easy to clean up. You will have a lot of choices on how fast, how much weight or how long of line you want to ride. Start with just the stock weight, around 20-21mph and 60-65ft and adjust the speed weight and line length from there.

I would start at 60ft and move back from there.

I ride at 75 and 22 mph. The wake behind these boats is pretty clean, so you can vary length and speed a bit and still have good results.

I'm still a rookie, recreational boarder for two years, I tried a bunch of different weights and lengths, to me the best way to start out is at 65 foot and no ballast 20-21 mph, just put down the wedge and start to feel everything out, you'll be suprised and then once you get comfortable with the boat and the way the cruise works you can go up from there, full ballast and the wedge is a crazy huge wake, I still haven't had the nerve to commit to it fully yet, I landed wrong at the end of last year and sprained my right ankle so I'm taking it a little slower this year, I'm too old to be getting hurt
