Guide Review - RopeWinder - Product Review for Wakeboard Towropes

Every wakeboard boat tower needs a RopeWinder to manage the tow rope. No more tripping over the rope or running the risk of it getting wrapped around the boat prop.

Easy to use. The boarder simply jumps in the water holding the rope handle. The rope unwinds as the boat drives away. When the ride is over the RopeWinder can pull the rider in towards the boat.
