|
|
I have been using a ski rope for years with a wakeboard handle attatched but want to change to a spectra no-stretch rope.
The problem is I don't want to drop almost $100 on 75' of rope I'm pretty sure I could find at $.30 a foot.
Does anybody know a website that sells 6mm spectra or dyneem zero-stretch by the foot? |

$0.80/foot
Not sure you're saving much with some take offs so let's say 80' total. So in reality with the whipping and/or splices in the retail rope it's a pretty good deal at $100. _________________ If I agreed with you we would both be wrong. |

I work at a rather larg hardware store. we have wall of ropes there, And I would no use any of them. we sell rope, Not wakeboard rope. The no strech rope is way worth every penny. Youll ride so much better. you will really be suprised with it...
go for it. http://www.the-house.com/wakeboard-lines.html _________________ Keep on shreddin -SouP- |
