what's a good basic handle and rope

[jklaus]

Hello,

Just a beginner slalom guy here. Looking to learn more and need a rope & handle.

Something fairly basic, moderately priced. Hopefully the handles float?

What are some things to look for in good ropes & handles?
Also what makes slalom handles different than wake handles?

Any suggested online retailers too.

Cheers, jeff

I like these or something like them. I am not as good as most of these folks but I can hold my own when I was healthy. You may be able to find them cheaper is you search the web. I like the curved handle. It is easier to switch from hand to hand for me. It may not float, I am not sure. The one I have will only float for a little bit. Good luck.
