Airhead Tow Demon 1-Rider Tow Harness, 8 Ft Steel Cable, AHTH-6
The Airhead Tow Demon (AHTH-6) is a 1-rider tow harness built around a vinyl-jacketed steel cable and a high-impact molded plastic float and pulley system. It is designed to make attaching ski ropes, wakeboard ropes, and tube ropes to your boat quick and easy, and it connects to the boat with two large corrosion-resistant snap hooks, each with a 7/16 inch opening. The float and pulley assembly lets the rope slide freely during turns, helping keep the pull centered behind the boat while towing.
This 8 foot steel cable version is recommended for recreational water skiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, and towing 1 rider tubes. The steel cable construction offers added durability over rope versions for riders who want a harness that resists stretch and abrasion over repeated use. Airhead also offers this harness in a 12 foot steel cable length (AHTH-7) as well as floating rope versions, so boaters can match the harness to their boat's beam width and towing setup.
