The Centerline Handle. This name reflects the innovative engineering behind this handle. Rather than securing the rope at both ends, it employs a unique design where the rope attaches centrally to the core bar. At the heart of this innovative design is the Centerline Stiffener—a highly engineered centerpiece that provides crucial stabilization during a skier’s turns while serving as a secure frame for the rope connection Details: Carbon Fiber Core Bar 3/8" rubber endcaps 13"x1.040" Durable, UV Resistant Centerline Stiffener Strung with S-Lines 10mm Rope Meets IWWF Handle Requirements Handmade in the USA Please state color choice in order notes or contact us to discuss color options Designed by Engineer, Top Ranked Masters Men Skier In August of 2022, Jason Peckham's arm was caught in the open bridle of a traditional handle during a fall at 39.5 off. He sustained a fractured radius, a partially torn biceps tendon, and extensive bruising and swelling—a serious injury that kept him off the water for the rest of his season. While recovering from injury, Jason was driven to create a closed bridle handle—an innovation he recognized was long overdue in waterskiing. With over 10 years of experience in product and design engineering, he applied his technical expertise to develop a handle that delivers both safety and performance without compromise. Lightweight & Buoyant Crafted from advanced lightweight materials, this handle offers effortless control and exceptional durability. Beyond its lightweight construction, the handle is buoyant—making it easy to spot on the water. Never lose your handle at the bottom of the lake again!
