New to the site and the sport, thought I would say hey.....Just started riding this summer I have a Hyperlite drive and love it. Got out only 10-12 times this year (got my board late in the summer) went out this last weekend and water temp was like 55 degrees (chilly) but here's a pic of me.........

I was gonna say the same thing as ont, get a good non-stretch rope. It's one of the best investments you can make for your riding.

Just because the diameter of that rope is bigger than ontrider's dick doesn't mean it's no good for wakeboarding. Could be TAC line, which is low-stretch.

100x better than my crappy old line |

Cool man. Welcome. And I would look at getting a thinner none strech rope for next year. it will make a huge difference.
And don't worry, the Dicks are only that for a little while.
Just as a heads up, use the search button, and if you can't find what you looking for then ask.

Accurate makes waterski ropes as well which appears to be what you're using. It's pretty good advice to grab yourself a non-stretch rope. That rope has a ton of slack in it and it's just gonna make things more difficult for ya. Lord know's this sport is difficult enough as it is.

Nobody's trying to rip on your rope, they just assumed since you were new that maybe you didn't know about no-stretch lines. I did anyway.

No one is "ripping" on your rope. Since you're new to the sport they're all just suggestions to help you with your riding.
FYI- with that retort you might just find your future on WB.com greeted with much more sarcasm.
