Tow Rope Essentials
Breaking Strength
More than anything, the breaking strength of a tow rope determines its application. Wakeboard and ski ropes will have a minimum breaking strength of around 1,000 lbs. Ropes designed to tow tubes and inflatables have a much higher breaking strength, as there could be multiple riders. For this reason, never use a ski rope to pull a tube, and always make sure your tube rope is strong enough to tow the total number of riders.
Length
Another important feature of tow ropes is length. Wakeboard ropes can range from 60 to 70 feet; ski ropes are typically 75 feet. Some wakeboard and ski ropes come in several sections of varying lengths. This allows the wakeboarder or skier to find the “sweet spot” in the boat’s wake. Tube ropes are about 60 feet long but anything less than 50 feet could put riders in the crest of the wake where they will be sprayed in the face.
Material
Most Seachoice tow ropes are made from 16-strand polypropylene, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, resilience, wide range of available colors, and lower cost. It is also resistant to rot and mildew, so it retains its strength longer than other materials. When under heavy loads (>70% of breaking strength), polypropylene rope will stretch 2% - 3% of its length, but will go back to its original length when the load is removed. And it floats!
Additional Features
Seachoice tow ropes have a number of features that make them last longer and help enhance your enjoyment on the water. To protect from the damaging effects of the sun’s ultraviolet rays, all Seachoice tow ropes have UV protective coating. In addition, a number of our ropes feature a reflective tracer for easy visibility on the surface. Also, the included rope keeper will keep your rope coiled and out of the way when not in use.

We used this double handle for teaching our 7-year-old to get up on a slalom ski. It works better than the traditional “deep v” handle that has the coating on “v” that gets stuck to the ski when coming up out of the water. This is just rope and the v is even deeper so the ski never gets caught on the rope or handle. Sometimes “old school” works better than the new stuff!

I have tried several ropes and sent several back of brand names you would think would be good ski ropes. This is my second SeaChoice Ski Rope. The line does not fray so easy, it is flexible enough that the filaments don't break, and it does not noticeably stretch. I recommend buying this rope. The price is reasonable.

A good time for a fair price. We have used it a hand full of times and it is still like new no stretch. I am satisfied with it

Initially seemed like a sturdy rope. After using it for one day, already getting some small frays. Concerned about the longevity of this rope but time will tell. Easy to install and I like that the handle piece removes easily and this can double as a rope for our tube.
