NICE! I was looking at the red one to match my fire jacket. Let us know how you like it.

Deal. Meet us at the Delta this weekend.

I love the colors. Thinking bout making a website w/ those colors.
what sucks is I probably won't be able to pop it's cherry until next sat. Unless I enter the tower lake contest this sunday in Tampa Fl
whick I think I will do if I can get up early enough.

I got it at www.WaterSportsWest.com
the handle was $120 which Barts.com was $199.98 so great price match

I like the fact it has the padding on the outsides which makes it les-likely to break
but It probably won't last long thanks to Murphy's Law=I hate that guy or is Murphy a girl?

Sweet looking, but I've heard that if the handle hits you when you fall, you're in for some pain.

I worried that I will throw it out to the rider, hit their board, and shatter

OOOPS! Jake has a typo up there..he meant $119.98! not $200.00 for a handle!! LOL

hmmm..I don't think I have ever had the handle hit me when I have fallen..does that happen on an invert or something?? normally I am behind the handle and it is flying away with the boat!

Hey, if you want to store that over here I'll take good care of it for ya

Guys, I've used it a couple of times and it is by far the lightest most solid handle I've ever ridden with.

Maybe I am not advanced enough, but I don't think I have ever been hit by a handle before, it would hurt I guess.

u bet it hurts when you get hit. got hit by the parks carbon the 1st time trying it out. took a fall from just a w2w jump and somehow the handle hit the back of my hand. had to stick my hand in the ice box for the rest of the day...

BUT...carbon handles do have this more solid pull to it...or maybe its just in the mind...

Novak--you store Tracy at out house, we'll store the handle at YOUR house..DEAL??

never been hit by the handle, but I did smack my hand on the edge of my board once..the thin bones connnecting your pinky and your wrist. talk about pain! i thought I broke it. Novak, remember that...it swelled up like a balloon! (but OF course I rode my next set..didnt want to be 'too girly' ouch, my hand hurts.) LOL

hopefully we will get to put some time in on it this weekend.

Murphy? You mean Mike Murphy ? ?

He's real and still involved with water sports, hehehe.

what this handle have different than normal carbon handles, except the shape, did this one have something better ?

Don't forget it can hit your board too.

I like the rigid feel, but that handle took a huge chunk out of my board.

Ya i have that handle...Awesome handle! At least it was a awesome handle until my stupid driver ran over it with the prop...now its split in 2

got to use it this weekend. It is sweet. The best part was Shawn Watson was my driver.

Adam
sorry to hear bout your handle. may it RIP

sorry to burst your bubble jake but those carbon handles break, ive gone through 3 or 4 of the accurate ones, the one im using right now is shattered, but the handle hits our boards a lot depending on what we are trying, so that may cause it

im still a fan of the plain old conventional handles

I'm livingi a kinder, gentler life Jake

Unless you want to talk politics?

A quick question for those that have these handles. The "funky" design is supposed to be so you can wrap the rope up. Do any of you actually do this with the little spindle? Just curious.

the handle was a perk. I figured it won't last long. So I wasn't bout to drop $120 on it

after I used it sat. I went to grab it off the boat and saw they were using it to tow a boat.
that wasn't cool but I guess it is good to know it can handle towing boats=LOL

Matt
yur doin a good job so far.
thanks I didn't know bout the spindle. I will start utilizing that.thanks
