i was wondering cause these things just look baddass and i got to check it out at the boat show but after thinking about it in was wondering if mabye there to light or just if anybody who has used them has anything to say about them cause i need to get a new handle cause we broke our other one and was wondering if the carbon handles were worth the extra money

I rode with one the other day. I liked it. Me and a friend both agree that it is alot easier when edging from the wake out and in. You noticibley have to work less. Also in the air when doing grabs and handle passes you feel more in control and seem to have a better awarness of where the handle is when passing.
This is just my opinion. I mean 120 bucks and it will last at least twice as long as a standard handle.

ofcourse they float, it might just be me but $140 for a handle!? are you kidding me. I saw it in person and didnt see anything about it other than cool looks that made it that great, but the again i havent used it.

Are you guys usibg the Parks or Zero G? I ordered the Zero-g because I thought it felt a little better on the hands. How does the Parks grip feel when riding?

i have the parks, it feel good when ridding pretty much like the recon did. I know you mean about fitting in your hands though. I was looking at the one that had rasied eva squares all the way around it and it felt really weird to hang on to.

Like I said in the other handle post....

I have the Parks handle. It was a gift. I think it will work well as a weapon if needed. I also think there is a good chance that it will be dropped on my foot and I will curse. It will bang the side of the boats, the riders board, someones head when you throw it to them.....

To sum this up. I would not pay for this handle, but all the same....I'm not taking it back.

Add.....thinking about it.... I don't think it has anything to do with the money and everything to do with getting bonked.
