Hello People,

I need to buy a new handle and line this year and am looking for something durable, comfortable, and well made. I was hoping some of you would have some good suggestions on what you like or what works well for wakeskating. Also a link to a website where I could find a good deal would be awesome. I don't need a 85' wakeboard line, or anything made by NASA. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

As much as I hate to say it this is probably the most comfortable handle I've ever owned.

LiquidForce71, the handle looks good, but i'd stay away from that rope, we've gone through at least five of those from them breaking and getting warrentied

SleuCrew, i have a north and i love it. it's wearing down though. it's also a little bit thick for me. i think i'm about to pick up a proline.

That's what she said.


And my friends and I just use this line, considering we mostly use a PWC, and it was on sale at our local shop:
