- In this video I show you how to find the perfect boat speed and rope length for any boat, whether it's a used boat, a rib, a jets or even an insane wakeboard boat like a centurion!
Step 1 - Find the speed the boat sits most comfortably at (usually between 18 and 24mph).
Step 2 - Pick any length and feel it out.
Step 3 - If it's the wake is curling, and too wide, the rope is too long and/or the speed is too slow.
Step 4 - If the wake is too mellow and narrow, the speed is too high and/or the rope is too short.
Step 5 - Play around with different speeds and rope lengths until you find the perfect combo.
This is a very difficult thing to find, specially for beginners, so hopefully it helps you and your wakeboarding.
Thanks for watching.
Dave
Amazing video. Thank you for detailed explanations
Top right hand screen of the corner! Best line ever 😂
“Top riot hand screen of the corner!!!!”
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Extremely helpful video, thanks 👍
Happy days, good luck!
I’m like so good at kneeboarding. Wake not my thing whatever I don’t care. Too fast or slow or ripping my arms? I’m so mad ugh it’s so goood to pop over a wake,
How do you trim you boat??👍
We live in Panama City Florida and have a Carolina skiff we don’t have a ski boat or a tower to put the rope on we only have clips on either side of the outboard that we use for tubing. Our son who’s 9 wants to learn how to wakeboard do you have videos on how to install \ use one of the towers?
Hey David could u make a video on how to ride switch bc i’ve been trying to perfect it but don’t know how!
Will do!!
Moomba outback V 2008, 70 feet 31 or higher rpms
What brand is that lifejacket
What length do you normally suggest to start at for a non vdrive?
Pick any length and then try and use the tips from this video to find the right length. It could really be anywhere from 45 feet to 80 feet depending on the boat!
Hey Dave! 👋🏻 So that kind of boat is called a stern drive (inboard-outboard) bow rider, they throw bigger wakes if you have the bigger 5-5.7liter V8 engine, but also when you toss a ballast bag in there. The true glory of a stern drive is being able to trim the motor up and down, somewhere on a wakeboarding forum, I read that throwing in some ballast, and then trimming the motor up once you get it on plane, gives you a satisfyingly smooth and wake that I love so much. Every boat needs a different amount of trim to smooth that wake out, but it should be 2-4 seconds of holding the button down.
Yesssss, very tempted to throw a fatsac in it!
the true glory of a stern drive lol
bro they are all pretty awful for riding
Dave I’m trying to land my first flip, I’m doing a tantrum. Whenever I try to just jump and go wake to wake I can get the board above the tower but while doing the tantrum I get no height, my board feels super heavy and there’s almost no rotation I just land chest down any tips?
The boat is gs20 on wake intermediate around 21 mph
Interesting. Maybe send me a video of it on Instagram (davidoc) and I'll have a look :)
@@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder just sent them, thanks man!
edge harder and wait longer before standing tall and throwing your head back.
Thank you for always good videos. My boat is AXIS22 2020, so what's the appropriate speed if I hang 70FT on the full set?
probably 32-33km/h
@@Lbavooo Thank you for the late response. In our country, the usual speed for a 23 ft boat is 35 to 36 kilometers per hour, with a line length of 70 to 72.5. Do you think that speed is faster than yours?
Where did u get that pylon on your boat???
It's an 'insanity pylon' - Google it and their website should come up. I'm very happy and impressed with it!
@@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder ok thank u is it easy to put up and take down?
