Rope and Handle

JB_CANSKATE · Posted: Jun 27, 2005 6:33 pm Post subject: Rope and Handle

for the last couple of years i've been wakeskating and wakeboarding with a sh*t ass canadian tire ski rope. I've pretty much given up wakeboarding but i need a new rope. I'm just wondering whats a good rope and if anybody knows where i can get one in the toronto or muskoka area.

ive got the thermal line and the murray handle. no stretch in the rope and the handle is sweet cause its sort of hard but not gunno break or scratch the board like a carbon fiber. i like wakeside.com cause of the no tax and rewards points and all the extras but boardstop.com is also great

Yeah I've been using a $30 Canadian Tire handle/rope that has so much stretch it nearly rips your arms up whenever you start up...I'm looking to buy a new rope and handle, and I checked out an Accurate line thats like spectra with poly-whatever (don't remember exact name) sections and a Byerly handle...pretty expensive though.

Get the Nevin Collin Wright or Josh Sanders Handle. They have pretty cool ropes too alough Accurate make a nice rope as well.

I ride with the Accurate Jacket series and the Accurate Byerly handle.

i really like the murray handle, its very comfortable...but for the price... http://www.buywake.com/catalog/detail.lasso?cat=5&man=Straightline&sku=ST_qR1ZG

i own that package and its a good handle and rope, weve been using it for a year now and it still looks brand new

would it help me more if i had a long rope(75ft) or a short rope (60ft)

I have the Nevin Collin and it's a very nice handle, best I used for the grip and the size.

Major downside is that some of the foam is peeling off on the side, but nothing that a lil' glue couldn't fix for good Wink

I'd recommend this handle too

one-eyed sailor551,
