How to make a handle float?

I just bought a Acurate no strech rope and handle.

I really like it, but after a little while in the water it starts to sink. Is there anyway to get it to float short of buying a new one? Thanks - Chad

they sell rope floats you can put on your ropes right before the handle. they work great, keep the handle and rope afloat and are really easy to see if your driving the boat. they kind of make a good looking handle look tacky though.

I actually ride a O'brien rope and handle and neither will sink... Probably not the hottest stuff out there but it does what it's supposed to and stays on top

I thought about putting a koozy cup on there, but it does look like crap.
