This is my 3 week old Zero G Accurate handle. Anyone else ever break a handle like this? Shocked

I did not run it over either. Laughing

Whoa, how did you do that? We have an accurate handle that is getting pretty beat up but not like that. Wow.

I've never broke one like that, but you need to send that biotch back!

I was just coming in for toeside roll to 180 and when I left the wake I pulled the handle and than just went skimming across the water on my head. Laughing

As the boat came back around and I grabbed the handle and I noticed that it was broken I grabbed the grip and it just separated from the rest of the handle.

NAW,

I already got a new handle.

I guess I need to be a little more gentle. Laughing

Grouch--No way, man. Keep killin' it and give that handle hell! Laughing

I just broke the same handle I'd had since I started riding, 4 years ago. It was Proline Tractor gripped handle. It had duct tape and sht holding the floats on and the tractor was almost worn off!! Talk about pimp!! I have an old school ski handle tied to my line now. Us marketing guys don't make sht compared to you big money engineers! Laughing

NAW,

Hey as long as it works for you and you are having fun. What kind of handle are you going to get now?

I was with the liquid force rep and the first thing he did was laugh than got out his rope and handle. It was pretty funny. Laughing

Grouch, I'm gonna rock my old school ski handle until Surf Expo in September. Then I'll see what's on the market and make a decision.

Grouch, It just floars me that people continue to buy this stuff. Performance Ski and Surf gets 50-60% of these Accurate handles back for warantee, tell the customers about the problems, and people still buy them!

It just shows what good marketing and image do for you.

MackDaddyWake1,

Most warranties are from the handle grip coming unglued. Everyone I talked to has never seen one like that.

Let them spend their money however they want. Its just a hassle for the shop employees to have to deal with all the warranties all of the time.

I like your sig - Its off to Wally World! Laughing

Wrecked is a understatement! Laughing
