well today I bought a Ronix handle and a vinyl 80 ft rope. I have no idea how to connect it. The handle had like a small rope attatched to a small bar. It also came with a ronix wrap around velcro thing, im not sure what thats for either. Can anyone give me any help on how to connect the rope to the handle? Im goin riding tommorow morning so Id like to be able to use it thanks!

You just pull the rope attached to the handle over the handle and through the 80 ft, ski rope and it makes its own knot,,,,,the velcro thing is for strapping the rope and handle together so it does not get tangled........good luck!! Good set up..... Tobin

thanks for the help tobin, i did some research and the T bar is what ocnfused me, i didnt know what that was.

Chris- no this is my first time ever using a wakeboard rope, ive been using a old crappy ski rope that came with my boat. I didnt even know there was a difference until last week. Im sorry Im not experienced. Im a snowboarder, new to the world of water lol

Sounds like Tobin explained it already but if you are still not sure here is a quick tutorial we put together. Have fun riding tomorrow!

Blake, that is the kinda thing we need here on Wakeworld for the newbs. Simple, straightforward, and video for those with the visual learning style. Well done. We need a whole 'tutorial' section on Wakeworld, with clips of simple things, like getting up, putting handle on, how NOT to power turn, etc. etc.
