Alright, I understand there is a difference in length and size of handle. Last year was my first on a wakeboard and i was just using a ski rope, and I'm wondering about the advantages of buying the wakeboard ropes. I don't want to spend all that money on a new rope if it isn't going to make a huge difference but i just need some input on why they are so much better. Thanks alot.

Ski ropes stretch.

Wakeboard ropes do not stretch.

You will notice a huge difference your ability to get air while jumping.
