Re: What rope/handle should I buy
Hey Golf101,
Ropes are almost as personal as a board itself. When my regular riding partner's come over for a session we pretty much each have our own set-ups.
As far as brand goes, I am a sucker for Ronix, I currently ride the Ronox One handle, I just love the brand because it is made for riders by riders. One important factor is the Width, most cheap handles are 12 inches wide, most pro grade handles are 15-16 inches wide and it makes a huge difference on riding stance and also for handle pass tricks.
For rope, I use a Straight Line team rope, i run it at 71 feet., but you can adjust it, comes in 5 sections. Feels to me like rope from a clothes line, zero stretch so you can start from the water at a very low speed and the boat will still get you up without effort.
For the best prices, check sites like buywake.com and evogear.com, they always have good packages in their outlet and clearance sections!
Judging from your current location and name, im sure you are getting stoked on the Master's!!!!
