I'm in search of a smaller diameter handle that is NOT pink. Preferably not purple either . . . I guess not your typical girlie colors and designs. I don't even need it to be a "girls" handle just something that is smaller so it will fit in my hands better.

SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!!

Check out the straightline ARI series. They have interchangeable grips, and some of them come in smaller diameters.

The Proline LG series has a small diameter handle.

when you inquire about the lg handle, make sure you ask for the ones w/ the small diameter, as they come in 3 (i think) different sizes.

If you also like girls boardshorts that aren't pink and super short try the Ten80 Kensington. If you want a Life Jacket that isn't pink and is USCGA try the Oneil Law. Write an email to the companies and tell them you don't want girly girl crap or you wouldn't be wakeboarding. You may be surprised at the responce.

Joe is right. I think they have LG1 & LG2. Maybe it's just me but I know the silver and black Lg I have has a tiny diameter, But the white lg I have is thicker. And I know they have a Fatty but don't know the model of that.

Thanks for your help!!

Looks like I'll be checking out the LG handles - I've heard good thing about them in general!

Mikey - I actually have the Oniel Outlaw vest and I LOVE IT!! Just plain black - no frills! Board shorts have been easier to find actually - I have like 4 or 5 pairs and none are pink but I think one or tow of them are actually guys shorts ... I just might have to shoot a couple companies an email about girls stuff being pink and purple ... It's a good idea thanks!

Also check out the CWB/Proline Faction handle. It is a triangle shape handle. Pretty small diameter. Very comfortable grip.

BTW... I've had LG's for the last 3 years. Great handles. Super comfy.

Sarah did you get the women's version of the Oneil Outlaw or the guys? My girlfriend doesn't like any of the womens 'belly vests' that seem to be so popular (and dumb) and is considering a used mens Outlaw. How does it fit?

My girl tried guys boardshorts too but they look funny - super baggy butt and crotch. The Ten80 Kensingtons have a great fit up in the hips and look really nice. Check 'em!

I have the mens outlaw because I too HATE the shortie vests. I tried on hundreds of vests for like a season and a half I finally found the outlaw and I love the way it fits! I had it all last season and I am so glad I waited to find it because it is so worth it!

The guys shorts are definately hit and miss for girls! I think my roxy and bilabong shorts fit better for sure.

So I just got Accurate's version of the LG handle and an additional mainline. I went with the Accurate version because I really wasn't a big fan of the black/gold or the black/neon green combos that the local shop had in the LG. I walked around the store with the LG in one hand and the Accurate in the other and then had my fiance hold them both out and with my eyes closed tried to pick which one was the LG and couldn't tell. I basically was 50/50 on my picking so I went with the Accurate one b/c it was blue and white.

I know I'm asking a lot I don't want a girlie pink handle but I also don't want neon green or gold . . .

I am excited to give the new handle a go this weekend!!!

My fiance ended up getting a new Ronix North handle too . . . it only seemed fair after I made him walk around the store with me and play the blindfold pick a handle game with me
