Ropes and Handles

Currently my bf and I wakeboard with a straightline handle and rope. For Christmas I want to get him a new set, but I wanted to know if anyone could recommend and/or give me advice on the 2 things I've been looking at. The Accurate podium wakeboard handle or the accurate Murray wakeboard handle. The line I'm looking at getting is the liquid force dragon mainline. If anyone has any other suggestions or has these items, please let me know if it's worth the purchase.

Thanks! Very Happy

don't get a liquid force line, get an accurate. The podium handle is great, nice and cushy, but your gonna want an accurate a-line if you want a line that's going to last for a long time. With my experience with straight line, liquid force, and proline ropes, Accurates have outlasted all of them.

I can't speak to the handles much but I would agree with LakeIolaLuke, on the rope. We got a coated rope this last year and we really like it, so I might add that would be something to consider.

+1 on the coated lines. Got the Helium suspension line at the start of the season this year and will never get anything else..

MOst deffinatly the Very Happy

LG handle by proline Very Happy

... by far the most comfortable handle out there.... and bascailly any coated line will do... most proline or straight line ropes are good.

I've always used Straight Line ropes and handles and loved them.

I was not a fan of my straightline carbon handle really at all... Paint chipped, grip to thick, just a waste of money. I've got an accurate byerly that was half the price and love it. The grip is small and i like that.. the only problem is the grip came unglued from itself near the center, but nothing some sho goo can't fix

CWB has a great package:

Hyperlite came out with a similar package:

Both under $130 rope and handle combo.

Get Proline's new LGT handle. It's the same leathery grip as the LG but in a triangle shape that fits into your hand effortlessly. It totally reduces fatigue and is the best handle I've had the pleasure of using.

Thanks everyone for your help! I decided to only get a line for christmas since I've already gotten him a bunch of other crap. I decided to go with the accurate a-line mainline, so hopefully he won't be disappointed! If anything the colour of the rope matches his boat! lol...
