Please disregard Idoks last post
I use the shorter rope just for rough conditions... it doesn't matter what you tow w/ when it's not big or rough.. When the waves are breaking close together, it's impossible to tow w/ a 20ft rope and not sink the ski or get ripped off it.. If the skis are in the same wave and close to each other there won't be lag and the skis will travel together as one unit. You can also travel much faster and can see what is happening w/ the ski and rider... behind you.
yes, definatly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my rules of towing:
1. always travel paralell to the beach in zig zag lines, to prevent the towed ski from landing on you
2. go as fast as possible w/o loss of control
3. always try to get someone to bring the rider on another ski (it's difficult for some to hold on and it prevents you from having to turn around for anything)
4. always be looking over your shoulder for breaking waves
5. don't listen to Idok :biggrin:
sorry sorry sorry....
I MEANT a long rope for towing OFF THE BEACH........for those days if you get stuck ON SHORE...there are certain times when a shorty rope will NEVER work................but again, this is only if you get stuck ON SHORE (this could also be constidered more of an 'extraction,' and noit just a tow)
otherwise the shorty is king......Ill never go back to a long tow rope.....
other than that, pay close attn: to #5 on nicks list......it could save your life! :biggrin:
