Rope and Handle

Hi everyone. First time buying a rope and handle. I know that a rope with no stretch and a floating handle is good. Im no pro so just the basic stuff will do. Will this suit my needs? If not can I get some recommendations on cheap ones? Thanks!

That rope looks like a steal! No stretch,decent looking handle pretty low risk investment there! If you wanna get fancy later that will be a great backup! Good Luck Get Wet! Todd

I have an airhead rope/handle combo, not that model, but still no complaints at all. I paid 50 for mine so yeah looks like a pretty good deal.

There's another topic on that same combo. I'll tell you what I told them. I don't know anything about Airhead, but that looks like a good beginner set up to me. The coated ropes on the handle should prevent it from fraying easily. The rope might not be the best, but I doubt if it could be too bad. One thing you probably won't like is how thick the handle grip is. But, first handle, first rope at that price looks like a good deal until you feel like upgrading.

My rope is almost exactly like that one. Mine is two or three years old though and I broke it Sunday. It's a good rope, we just used the heck out it. Worth the price.
