2016 Ronix Bungee Surf Rope - $49.99 USD

At its most basic level, a surf rope is really only needed to get up out of the water, so nearly anything will do the job.  The other thing to consider when shopping for a surf rope though is the comfort and safety it offers.  The Ronix Bungee Wakesurf rope has been a perennial favorite for our customers because it offers just the right combination of comfort, safety and value.  Yes, you can spend more on a surf rope, but the Bungee from Ronix represents the sweet spot in terms of price and features.

2016 Proline LG Surf Rope with Handle - $49.99 USD

The 2016 Proline LG Surf rope is all about value. High quality materials and construction combine in an affordable package, without any fluff or unneeded "features".  If you are looking for a rock solid surf rope with a traditional triangle style handle that will last for years, the Proline LG surf rope is what you want.  A fully enclosed triangle offers just enough room for both hands to fit on the handle while getting up, but is small enough to stay out of the way once you're riding before you drop the rope.  The high quality mainline features a durable braid construction where the majority of the wear-and-tear occurs, so it will last for many seasons!

2016 Straight Line Hydratak Wakesurf Rope - $59.99 USD

The Straight Line Hydratak Wakesurf Rope is a premium wakesurf handle with an extra wide grip. The 10' Hydratak gives you plenty of room to grip while you're getting into the sweet spot of the wake. Molded foam grips line the rope and it gives riders a more comfortable way to adjust their grip.

2016 Liquid Force Ultra Suede Grip Surf Rope - $69.99 USD

This is what happens when Liquid Force throws all of their wakesurf handle technology into one product, The Liquid Force Ultra Suede Grip Wakesurf Rope has just about very feature you could ask for.  Starting with a comfortable 9" Suede Handle and moving into the 24' braided mainline with 3 removable sections for easy length adjustment, this wakesurf rope really has it all.  A traditional surf handle located at the end of the rope makes getting up easy, while a durable EVA padded section forward of that gives multiple hand placement options.  Three take-off sections mean you can find the perfect riding position, regardless of wake length or where your rope is connected.

2016 Proline LGS2 Bungee Surf Rope - $69.99 USD

The LGS2 provides your surfer with 30ft w/ 5 - 3ft Sections. A ultra smooth 10'' synthetic leather grip with square PE embossment for a super tacky grip.
