Should wakeboard ropes and handles float?

some float some don't. I dislike the ones that sink because if you stop for a couple seconds it's hard to find the handle. Usually they will have foam floaties on them or if it's an EVA grip handle it will float without floaties.

Really? I've never seen a handle that didn't float - unless it was broken.

Yeah I haven't seen many but the old ski ropes sank and I've seen a few that were busted. I've only seen 1 handle made for wakeboarding that was designed without floaties though.

A friend of mine has a ski handle that sinks and slowly pulls the rope down with it.

No they should never float, that way u dont know where it is so it can get caught on your prop when a newb drives over it.

J/K Floating is good so u know where its at.
