A rope is not just a rope. And it's common for people to not understand that. There are waterski ropes, wakeboard ropes, surf ropes, tube ropes, and more. Let's dive into it and I'll explain all that you need to know so that you'll be more informed out on the water next summer. 

Radar's Senate series is perhaps their best selling ski. It comes in 2 versions: There's the Alloy Senate and the Graphite Senate. The Alloy is our shop favorite slalom ski. The price point is good and all the best features in a slalom ski are present. The Graphite is stiffer and more responsive. If you're skiing predominantly at short line and you're yanking on the rope, then the Graphite is a better choice for you. But if you are like me and you've left the brunt of your competitive nature at the New England Championship 10 years ago, then the Alloy is a great choice.
