Collection: Wakesurf Ropes & Handles

Wakeboard ropes are specifically designed for wakeboarding and differ significantly from ski ropes:
They are low-stretch or no-stretch to provide a consistent pull and better pop off the wake.


Wakeboard ropes are often longer and come with adjustable sections for different riding styles.


Handles are usually wider and more padded to allow two-handed tricks and better grip.


Tips:
• Use a no-stretch rope (Dyneema or Spectra) for maximum control and performance.


• Avoid ski ropes—they stretch more, which makes it harder to time tricks.


• Choose a rope length of 65–75 feet for most beginner to intermediate riders.


• Shorten the rope if you’re working on tricks or riding closer to the boat's sweet spot.

The ideal rope length depends on your riding style, wake size, and boat speed:
Beginners usually start with a shorter rope (55–65 ft) to stay closer to the wake.


Intermediate and advanced riders use longer ropes (65–75 ft) to hit the wake at the optimal spot for tricks.


Some ropes have 5-foot sections to easily adjust the length.


Tips:
• Use a shorter rope for learning and a more mellow wake.


• Go longer if the wake is clean and well-formed further back.


• Adjust rope length to hit the wake at its widest and cleanest point.


• Slower speeds (18–21 mph) work well with shorter ropes, while faster speeds (22–24 mph) suit longer ones.

Wake handles are engineered for comfort, control, and durability:
Handles typically range from 13 to 15 inches in width for better grip during tricks.


Materials like EVA foam or suede offer a soft, non-slip feel.


Some handles come with T-bars or secondary grips for spinning tricks or wrapped handle passes.


Tips:
• A 15-inch handle offers more space for handle passes and spins.


• Look for ergonomic grips if you ride for long sessions.


• Choose a handle with floating ends so it stays on the water surface.


• Riders learning spins may benefit from T-handles or “chicken loops” for extra leverage.

Proper care extends the life of your rope and keeps you riding safely:
Rinse your rope and handle with fresh water after each session—especially in saltwater.


Let them dry fully before storing to prevent mold or rot.


Avoid wrapping the rope tightly around the handle, which can cause kinks and weak points.


Tips:
• Hang your rope loosely in a cool, dry place to avoid UV damage.


• Never drag the handle or rope on rough surfaces—it can fray.


• Check the rope for frays or worn spots before every ride.


• Use a rope bag or organizer to prevent tangling and extend its life.
