Hey everyone, I ski at about 32 MPH, but am usually on a 75' rope. I am an aggressive skier, but by no means a pro or anything. What length of rope do you all use?

I was a 75' open water guy at 32mph for a long time but recently tried 26' off at a friend's private ski lake with the course because he had lost the other 26' of rope he never used.
I have to say the short rope was fun and actually helped with my off side turn slack. I did however slow down to 28-30mph instead of my normal 32mph.
Haven't been out since due to boat troubles

I will definitely try a shorter length. When you say 26’ OFF, or 22’ OFF, that literally means a 22 foot rope though right?

22' off is 22' off a 75' rope so 53' is the actual length of the rope.

I’m a 15’ off skier open water at 32-34MPH behind my Comp, a forum members Comp and Response as well.

I just tested out 28' off behind my MC TriStar 220 (sorry I had to give up on my Supra when I could buy an all glass MC for less than the stringer and interior repair on my Supra) and that got to be a bigger wake to cross than I expected so I added 6ft back in to make it 22' off and that skied well.
I do miss the flatter stern of my Sunsport Skier and the elevated seating position. The MC has me sitting on the ground plus it lacks the three fins up front.
