Travis asked:

I have a water skiing rope and want to start wakeboarding. Do i have to buy a rope specifically made for wakeboarding or can i use the water skiing rope?

      For both have but some people prefer different length depending on how much wake you want and your skill level.

      A waterski rope has some”flex” to them and almost all wakeboard ropes have no flex to them. But you dont have to buy a whole new rope if you dont want to. Good luck at starting to wakeboard.
