Recommended Posts

so my boarding has progressed enough that i need to move away from my 60' Canadian tire rope and move up to a low or no stretch rope. i am thinking about spending $150- $200 on the rope and handle.

what is the best set up for this price and how much of a difference am i going to notice?

thanks crew,

These days I'm using a Straightline 15" wide neoprene grip handle & an 85' long Accurate Yellowjacket. Both were deals I picked up at 2 different dealers. For probably less than 1/2 your budget.

I would say that ANY wake sport rider should be on a low/non stretch rope. It makes a huge difference even learning to jump the wake.

Using longer lines means you have to do a lot of line management to keep it tight. And the wake gets really wide that far out. So you need to work your way out there, maybe in 5' or 10' increments. But once you get out that far, it's a lot of fun. Progressive cutting to load the line really puts you way up in the air!

I agree 100% on the length, I started out at 55' and worked my way back from there.
