Serious wakes call for serious grips.

July 1, 2003

Serious wakes call for serious grips. Proline Rope Technology introduces the Gripstick EVA Handle with Pencil Floats for the next step in wakeboard accessories. A bridle assembly that uses a small diameter eliminates visual bulkiness and reduces the weight, while the molded Gripstick provides a stronger grip than the traditional clutch handle. The Sprectra Fusion Wire rope cuts down on stretching sure to occur with your bag of tricks, but still maintains a high breaking strength for a safe ride. The Gripstick comes in a variety of arrangements for both beginners and pros. Prices start at $85.
