How to Choose Water Ski Gloves Ropes

Video Transcript

"After you've selected your life vest. The next consideration will be your ski rope. Now, there are several types of ski ropes. There's a two handled ski rope, which I don't recommend for a beginner. The one handle and this particular one is a metal core with a hard fiberglass sheathing. This particular one here is a solid core, which will sink. I don't recommend this for a beginner. I would recommend a wood core ski rope for the beginner, so that it floats. That way, we won't miss the rope when the boat comes around. Later on, when you become more proficient I would go to a solid metal handle. This particular rope is 75 feet long. As you progress, you might want to go to a shorter rope (60 foot). It just makes being picked up a little bit quicker, eats less gas. It's a little bit hard on the hand, so you might want to consider a basic pair of water ski gloves. These are available at any sporting goods store where you pick you ski out, or your ski rope and their padded. Also, they give a nice grip. There's a Velcro fastener to keep them on your hands. As you can see, these are a large. Just slip them on, and you fasten them. It gives you a nice firm grip on the rope. I recommend these."
