Analyze this

During my travels in south east asia this spring I came across this guy in Singapore. I couldn´t help but to wonder how he manages to ride with a steering wheel instead of a regular handle. Maybe it´s easier to make those sharp turns if you ride with a steering wheel...

It´s probably only a matter of time before Parks has got a signature wheel.

It's cool to see how people adapt to do what they love.

I used to ride with a dock line like his. And anyone who has ridden my current rope knows that it's no beauty either.

I had to take a knife to my new Byerly handle/accurate spectra fusion line after my brother ran it over with our fishing boat...I swear the rope/handle was only like 2 days old and he ruined both of them. I nearly killed him. Smash

I dont get why poeple buy like $200+ handle/line setups. Ive been using my $75 Performance handle that came with a rope for free for almost 5 years now. And the handle is falling apart in 6 places. My dad wanted to buy me a new handle/rope for xmas and i said no. Bc that handle is magic. Its had a re-entry 3 flip done on it for crying out loud. Laughing

senorbueno,

Yea I bet if he had the Murray handle and 180$ hyperlite line he would have got it to 360. Laughing

ppfffffffff... we took the trick handle off of our handle at the start of the year to make it lighter, we tied it all nice. one day like 2 months later the knot broke when i was getting up, then we tied it back up and tried again, i got so mad that i started to hit my board with it, then i tried to toss it at the jetski cu i was kinda far away, it hit the side and bounced off, then i clued in that it sinks, so i swam my a$$ off to get to it and dove down to get to it, i had my vest on so i didnt get too far, reaching down for it i just hit it with the tip of my finger. now its down 40 feet on the bottom of some lake up north.
