The Basics:
The right wakeboard rope can really enhance your wakeboarding experience. In order to do stunts, you will need a rope that has no give or stretch to it. This means, you won't be able to use your old waterski rope. When you are buying a wakeboarding rope, you want to keep these factors in mind:
Wakeboard Binding
Rope Material, You Get What You Pay For!
You will find that wakeboard ropes are available in two materials, Polyethylene and Spectra.
Polyethylene / Low Stretch: With a normal load, this type of rope will stretch about one percent. Spectra / No Stretch: This kind of rope is incredibly strong. With a normal load, it will stretch less than half of a percent. Most professional wakeboarders use Spectra ropes. A rope that does not change in quality is a definite plus when you are performing.
The Length Yo!
The standard wakeboard rope is about 60 to 70 feet in length. Most beginners prefer a shorter rope so that they are nearer to the boat and their wakes are not as wide. The best ropes are adjustable, via loops, and can be changed per the rider's abilities.
Gotta Have The Handles.
Handles are constantly changing to fit the needs of wakeboarders. The newest handles have ergonomic grips, making them much more comfortable. Most handles are between 13-15 inches in width, this is 2-3 inches wider than water ski handles. Tricks such as spins and wraps will be easier with a wider handle. The coolest tricks require you to pass the handle behind your back. And won't that be so much easier with a larger handle! There are ropes available with an additional grip closer to rider.
