No stretch rope that is shorter!!!!

I use a rope that is 55 ft total with the handle. This is the best spot on my wake. I want to know if they make a rope that is no stretch that is this short. The shortest ones I have seen are 70 ft with sections that will bring them down to 55 ft but then when you add the handle you are back up to 60 ft. Does anyone know if there is such and who it is made by and where you can get it???

Why don't you just tie the rope shorter? That's what I did.

There is a great knot to shorten a rope that slips out after you take it out, hard to explain. You get the rope in a u turn shape. Now fold it over so honestly the only way to describe it is it looks like a stick with a ball on either side. Now fold it so the balls are on top of each other. Then just double the loop up. (Like first make an 8 shape, then fold it over again like how girls do that with the hair rubber band things) Put this loop on your pylon and pull on it until it tightens down. When your done, pull it off the pylon and it will fall apart. (slip knot)

That make sense?

here's a diagram for what LFADAM is talking about.

But if you're going to be using it at 55 ft every time you probably want a short rope anyways.

mbjgolf, personally I like the byerly (no wrap) its pretty affordable and honestly the best handle I have ever owned

I love my Byerly handle. It's lasted 3 seasons already, with no sign of wear - and it's super comfortable.
