Yeah but just an old one with the grip falling off...
I've had bindings break but just never thought that would happen while just riding

non-solid handles lol. thats my recommendation. Straight line has some sick ones. haven't really tried many others. that just looks dangerous. At least you know if your arm went through it, it would break maybe? lol

Doesn't take long to break a carbon fiber handle when beginners are learning to wakeboard. When they slip out on their butt, the handle get ripped out of their hands and smacks off the board...only took my hadle one day to get destroyed!
