What speed are you pulling the little guys/girls with? My youngest make just started riding a few weeks ago and I am curious what everyone has been doing this summer in regards to speed.IMG_4078.jpg IMG_4079.jpgIMG_4083.jpg

I am sure someone will chime in with a better answer, but on my old boat (not a Tige) my daughter (who was older btw) would struggle below 14mph. I tried to run her about 15-18mph. -
My 10 & 11 year olds started this year. I've been amazed at how little throttle they need to get up.
I've been going to around 12 MPH and make any small adjustments from there. Usually I can tell by looking at them if a little faster or slower is warranted. After the run I always ask about the speed. Whatever it was they always say it was "great!".
Sure is fun teaching them!

When my kids were 6, I pulled them both around 12-13 mph. My ten year old is now running 17-18 mph and my 13 year old is running 19-20. It really depends on what size board they are on, how much they weigh and how fast you pull them. If the aren't trying any tricks, slower is better. Easier falls. If they actually want a wake they can use, you have to get them going a little faster.Andy NesbittComment

Thanks!!!!! I need to speed him up a little. We were only doing 6ish and from the look of the video the 12ish should be way better for him!
