Blindside_137, callouses build character, once you have character, drop some dough and buy a straight line. They make good stuff.

Second what Jumalian said, Pat is a partner in Boardstop.com I highly doubt he's gonna "screw over" anyone... I have only heard good things about boardstop, that handle looks decent, but definantly ditch the rope and buy some real spectra line. I baught some mainline for like $40 and its the "nice" jacket rope. (I put "nice" in quotations beacause in reality its not any better than regular spectra... except for asthetics)

Keep your eyes peeled in the classifyed section too, Thats where I got my mainline, 100% new... But also check out boardstop and if you can swing the extra few bucks, I'm shure Pat wouldn't mind.

Irony is a form of speech in which the real meaning is concealed or contradicted by the words used. Irony involves the perception that things are not what they are said to be or what they seem

I got an 03 closeout Shane handle from www.seedickride.com about 2 months ago for $39 at that time they had a Watson handle for the same price. Love the handle btw!
