Was wondering how other deal with the "jet wash" while pulling tubes (no tower). I have added 20' to a standard 60' rope and seems to get kids right of wash, but was wondering if other deal with it differently. 2012 SX210
 
We just run a bit longer rope than normal. Kids also prefer to wear googles to keep spray out of their eyes. Easiest thing is to just keep them out of the center of the wake or go just a tad slower when they're there. Throttling back just a tad seems to really shorten how far back the spray goes.
