have you guys used these ropes? why does the straightline cost more?
Which one looks like a better rope?

between those two id go with the straightline. The straightline is a wakeboard specific company and I think that airhead is a tubing company.

do you think the 65 feet with the straightline will be enough?

Am I the only one who noticed that these are LOW stretch lines rather than NO stretch lines? I believe the Static line is only the model name and not the actual scientific reference to static (which means "not changing").

Am I just mistaken on my knowledge of equipment, or is it not a popular belief that a low-stretch line is a waste of money when you could spend a bit more for no-stretch?

This would seem to be better:

Mind you, it is only the mainline and has no handle.
