Jsut an FYI to everyone because of something I saw at the masters.

 

Please DON'T put both loops on the pylon, pull the longer loop out of the way and just have it so the shorter loop is touching the pylon. f you have the longer length in behind the shorter, then when the skiier loads the line the rope will move out of the way and you can feel a little snap in the line.

 

Just a thought for next time you are a boat judge or a passenger.

How can you screw up with a knotless rope? There is only one way you could put my Radar rope on a pylon.

@oldjeep - I use that type of rope as well. One thing we do is slide the loop that is just inside the boat (the one attached to the loop on the pylon) to the side, so when the rope is under load, the load is not on the end of the loop in the boat. By sliding it to the side when you put it on, you will save wear and tear on the loop in the boat. Hard to explain, but easy to do.
