Welcome to IN TOW, home of custom made ropes and handles for tournament water skiers. I was just talking to a skier about handle measurements at tournaments. At a recent tournament the technical controller measuring the handles was allowing only a plus or minus one inch on the handle length measurement. This is accurate for a TOURNAMENT supplied handle but a SKIER supplied handle can measure plus one inch or minus four inches on the handle length measurement. Actual length of a handle is 4' 11" so your handle can measure 4' 7" to 5'. This measurement should be made under 44 pounds of tension for at least 30 seconds and the measurements are to be made from the centerline of the handle to the inside surface of the attaching loop. This is discussed in the AWSA Official Tournament Rules, section 8.04 Tow Lines, section 10.16 (d) Slalom Equipment and Definitions, and in the Note section of the Appendix. Good Luck to all of my skiers at Regionals and Naiontals!!! Tear it up,

Slalom Mainlines
IN TOW slalom mainlines have been used in many record tournaments both in the United States and International. Each
slalom mainline is custom made by Brenda and is guaranteed to be tournament level accurate. All slalom mainlines are my unique small loop knotless design spliced together with 3/8" polypropylene rope with an average breaking point of
1800 pounds. The last long section is available in white, red, green, blue, or purple.

IN TOW handles are custom made for each tournament skier. The core bar is a 2024 aluminum bar which is stronger
than the standard 6061 and I've been told by skiers that the grip is the best. Lots of personal options available.
