Wakeboard Handle and Rope Question

Question

I'm just starting at Wakeboarding...Ive done it a couple of times b4 and i can stand up on the board pretty easy and am getting the hang of going out side of the wake... at this time we have a sucky @$$ handle and rope and i am looking at buying a new handle and rope... when i was looking online i noticed that there were different sizes of ropes... what is a ideal size of rope that i should get for my experience level?

Thanks, Cameron

Answer 1

get a good non-stretch rope with take-offs and "the grail" handle. Pricey but oh so worth it!

Answer 2

ok since you're a beginner the closer to the boat( the shorter the rope) the better, so when you start going wake to wake you will have less of the wake to jump. on the rope they're are different lengths.. go with the shortest one, i think its around 45-50 feet. i really recommend you buy a CWB handle and rope so check this: http://ridecwb.com/index.php?mod=ropes&i... that is a pretty legit handle and rope. Hope this helped!

Answer 3

You should try and get a rope that is around 50 feet and make sure it can float.  Some good brands are bodyglove, CWB, and Obrien.
