lines length?

I feel that switching to different line length than one you usually ride messes up tricks timing a bit.
However for lightwind longer lines add some initial stroke length/time/power.
So my regular is 24m, long 30m (optionally 37m) and the longest I tried when bored was 59m. That Turbine looked small that far :)

If you played with different line length what sets have you settled with and dialed into?
