Wakeboard line

[Tweak]

Question? What kind of wakeboard line/rope do you use? What brand and model and what are the pros and cons. Also what kind do the pros use? I know non stretch is what I need to get but being new to the boating thing and wakeboarding, I'm just trying to figure out what everyone's opinions are before I drop $150-$200 on some line.

If you are new to wakeboarding, don't worry about what the pros use. Any wakeboard line "non-stretch" on sale from a reputable company will get you through a few seasons. By then you'll know exactly what line and handle you want. Just don't use a ski rope for wakeboarding. It can be painful.

Anything like this would be fine for newbies:

May want to start keeping an eye on sites like the Evo outlet:

I like the coated one linked above.

I prefer the coated lines over the textured ones, but it's a personal preference, not a performance one.

It looked like that rope was 70 ft, meaning your length would be around 75 at max. Most lines are 80 ft. 75 could be fine, depending on the rider.

I always check out evogear.com outlet section when shopping also.

I would look into coated lines, they say their UV resistant but I've never kept a line long enough to find out. The coated lines seem to run through the hands a lot better when picking up a rider. Also seems like it tangles less then non coated.
Here's some good examples of very good ropes and handles where discount code DFTR2016 can be used to save some cash on the already discounted price.

I like the coated lines also. They are easier to handle and don't get kinked and knotted up as often. Only thing with them is you have to be careful that you don't cut the coating if you are shortening lengths. There are a few videos online that show some different ways to tie off to the tower so you won't cut the coating. I think there is one on LearnWake if you are a member.

Yes! The textured ropes send chills down my spine when it runs through my hand!

Ugh, I want that red mainline.

Threw a message out to see if anything can be dug up in that red line for cheap.
