Ski/Wakeboard Rope?
Can anyone recommend a good dual purpose rope? I'll be doing both and I was wondering if I could get by with one.
But if I need to buy two I will, I'm just curious. Any suggesstions? I mostly free ski, and I'll be learning to wakeboarding. Thanks! Gov

Gov - I would get a decent slalom rope with sections and use it to learn how to wake board. It would be best to get two different ropes - since a wakeboard rope has no stretch vs. a slalom rope that has a bit of stretch to it.
So for now get the slalom and ask for a wakeboard rope for X-mas!

Gov, I would not recommend using a non stretch rope for slalom skiing. I did this for one season and got some decent back problems to show from it. You really want a little give even if you are just free skiing.

You have a Mastercraft for goodness sakes....get two ropes....I have 1 slalom rope with slalom handle, 1 85' wakeboard rope and handle, and 2 75' matching wakeboard ropes and handles, (for pulling double skiers, kneeboarders, etc. ) and 1 80' wakeboard rope with a custom handle...you can never have enough good ropes and handles....let the deckboat guys change handles and use 1 rope....can you tell that I have an opinion?
