Baller Windsurfnut Posted July 29, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 29, 2019 Just discovered my radar knotless mainline (the black one) is short by 7’ @ 15’ off! It’s accurate up to 35’ off but after that all the sections are short by 6”- 2’ eventually creating 7’ difference at 15’ off. Been struggling all season behind my boat, and other boats always felt like I had more line. Sure enough...it’s off. And most affected at the 22’ and 15’ off my family skis at.

Baller ColeGiacopuzzi Posted July 29, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 29, 2019 That's a bummer sorry about that, but I'm sure @brooks will chime in on this. Radar Skis Follow Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dvskier Posted July 29, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 29, 2019 I love Radar products but haven’t used their ropes as I was told “don’t take a chance, get Masterline”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted July 29, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 29, 2019 It is 7 feet short at 15 off? That seems like a tremendous amount. The good news is if you have run 15 off you really ran 22 off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art90notch Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Which rope is it? Is it the newest iteration of the vapor knotless? Is it white or is it black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller WIRiverRat Posted July 29, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 29, 2019 My ski buddy had the exact same thing happen to him last year with that rope. Luckily radar has great customer service and took care if it quickly with a new rope. Always measure your ropes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Industry Professional brooks Posted July 29, 2019 Industry Professional Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hey @Windsurfnut, will you send me an email, brooks@squareoneco.com with some photos. We have had some issues int he past but have made great strides in the last few years and every single Vapor Mainline we make now is spot checked for accuracy.

Baller dave2ball Posted July 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2019 @Windsurfnut how are you measuring the rope? It should be measured starting from the handle end to the longline section or 15 off section. I find it hard to believe the rope would be 6 feet short. That is almost whole 15 off section. 70 feet with out the handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Drago Posted July 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2019 You should measure your rope unless you don't care. Really effects your practice pb ;) <~ sarcasm. Easier to measure with metric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
