think about if u held the left or right side of the handle with one hand... the other side would give and it would just be like holding onto a rope without a handle

If you ever held on with one hand the handle would bend to the side of the rope, and what if you wanted to grab the middle of it?

d22, it would break REAL easy where the 'T' meets. Put someone too big on it and you will have so much pressure on the outer part of the handle that it snaps like a twig.

I've been working on a few of my own handle designs lately that I think are going to be realy innovative.

I guess I'll give you all a sneak peak:

The first is the C-WAKE (I added a lot of different points to hold on so even if you're having a really lousy day and can only say annoying and negative things you'll still get a good run on your wakeboard.)

The second I call the HARPSPECIAL

(btw, I actually think Robert Harp is pretty funny and thinks he's cool to put up with so much grief.)

It's actually a crybaby. I found a lot of inspiration in the 11 posts that C-Wake left us with.

This post is absolutely hilarious if you never read Robert Harp's thread about pulling a gun on a jet skiier.
