Tight, for the most part. I do better surfing on a loose line, but better jumping on a tight one.

Tight, but not bone tight. I like it tight because you feel the property of the webbing more. Stretches more. For surfing I still like it tight because it allows for a more fluid ride.

Pretty tight on new webbing - good spongy bounce. Jump tight most of the time.
Medium on stretched out webbing that doesn't have much bounce.
Loose only if I'm surfing.

I like it so thick you can cut it with a knife. Some marital infidelity, lying about your climbing ability on a multipitch, showing up late, and being hungover always help. Oh, and leave your wallet at home. whoops.
"The tension hung precariously in the air, like so many gumbies dangling from wavering strands of Blue Water 9.2, with nothing but a bloody flapper of communication to crevasse the glacial periods of awkward silence."
