Airhead AHSR-2 EZ Up Slalom Training Water Ski Rope - 1 Section, 75 Feet
The Airhead EZ Up Slalom Training Rope (AHSR-2) is a 1 section water ski tow rope built to help beginner water skiers learn the sport with confidence. It is designed around a floating aluminum handle with molded end caps, giving new skiers a secure, comfortable grip while keeping the handle visible and easy to recover if dropped in the water. The handle features a 12 inch EVA grip, which provides a soft, stable handhold that helps riders new to the sport keep their bearings and stay on the water longer without fatigue or discomfort.
The rope itself is a 16-strand, 75-foot line that is both UV-treated and pre-stretched. UV treatment helps the rope resist fading and degradation from sun exposure, while pre-stretching means skiers get a taut, responsive pull with minimal slack during the ride. The rope is finished in a bright red color that stands out clearly against the water, making it easier to spot for both the skier and the boat driver.
A Rope Keeper is included with the AHSR-2, allowing the rope to be coiled and stored neatly between uses instead of tangling in a boat locker or storage bag. As a single-section training rope, the AHSR-2 is intended for skiers who are still developing their technique, rather than the multi-section adjustable ropes used for slalom courses at varying distances.
