Automatic surf rope

[larry_arizona]

Hard pass, and the dude gets sensitive if you say it's not worth the money on social media. His reply was, well, surfing is expensive so we're making this expensive. No thanks with that company.

I also noticed the owners comments were sensitive, most say it's overpriced at $500 and full retail will be $900.

His comments were basically, "How much do you think it should sell for?"

Personally I don't want that thing hanging off the side of my boat, not sure I would buy it at any price.

I will applaud the idea and effort, just not my thing.

I agree this has engineering promise and I like the innovative concept of this product. What I cannot get over is the cost, mounting, and packaging.

I can buy side tow point for my tower for $100, a retractable dog leash for $50, and a good surf rope for $75 and have the same concept.

Not trying to beat someone up, or downplay their idea. I bet he has takers it just won't be at $500, let alone $900.

"Retractable dog leash"! LOL. I love it. I was thinking one of those retractable clothes lines, but the leash is better!

I need less crap on my boat, not more.

Looks dorky.

Only one situation where it would be useful:

90yo Gramps, who just had his third knee replacement, is driving and having a hard time getting back on the steering wheel after tossing you the rope on a pickup.

....not that any of us here surf without a spotter...<cough>
