What rope/handles do you recommend

g_money 09-07-2003, 8:08 PM

I am looking for a new rope and handle, but want a little info on what is recommended.

I am an intermediate rider and currently just using the cheapo $50 west marine version but want to upgrade.

Where is a good place to get them online?

Thanks,
galen

accurate jacket series, recently got a yellow jacket on ebay for $65. new. If you don't use ebay then try adrenaline watersports or grizzly sports

Yeah go with the accurate jacket, great line. As far as handles go I use a byerly which has worked good for me.

I also have a yellow jacket with a byerly handle. Great combination!

boardparadise.com ask for stephen. he gives great deals on accurate lines and handles. we picked up a carbon fiber handle for 80. if your a beginner, check for a spectra line, prob 35-40 if you shop. but the yellow jacket line is sick. handle grip doesn't bother me, i just like having a 15" handle

I also have the jacket line of ropes (yellow, zebra, and now red b/c we run over at least one per season.

What is the deal with the premier handle - why is it so nice, how much is it, and where can I get a good deal?

Accurate Jacket lines are great, but if you don't feel like throwing down that much cash, Hardline has some great package ropes (spectra rope and EVA waffle handle) for about $100.

It's easy to say one rope is better than another, however handles are MUCH more subjective. It's all about what feels good to you. Go to your local shop and start feeling 'em up.
