Masterline 11.25M Youth Mid Waterski Mainline Rope - 8mm

Masterline 11.25M Youth Mid Waterski Mainline Rope - 8mm

Detailed Description:

All of Masterline's water ski ropes are handmade in the USA with the highest-quality PolyproMAX yarn. As skiers progress or grow out of the 12m 5mm Youth rope, they graduate into the lighter weight 8mm slalom rope designed for G2, B2 & Women 6 and above divisions. This rope is a mid rope for skiers not quite large enough to handle the full 10mm slalom rope. The weight of the 10mm rope can be too much for the smaller skier, pulling them off edge and sagging in the water at longer line lengths. Each rope is hand braided and pre-stretched to ensure maximum performance. 

Details:

• Looped Construction
• Shortenings through 10.75m (39.5' off)
• Lightweight 8mm PolyproMAX Rope
• Handmade in USA

This rope is primarily designed for the lightweight skier that is starting to run deeper shortline or is feeling the lighter weight rope is too stretchy. This is a good step up rope from the light weight rope without going to the full size 10mm rope.
