We just picked up our 2021 195S and we are looking for what people are using for tow ropes. Our old ropes were in rough condition and want to replace them. What brand and length are people using. Not looking to spend a fortune as we will not be using the ropes as frequent as some do. We plan to do some wakeboarding, knee boarding and tubing for the kids. Our old setup was multiple lengths together and extendable. I know that there is some spray to be expected with the jet drive vs our old prop drive. Any suggestions are welcomed.
 
For tubes or wake sports?

Nevermind, I are dumb.

I use this one for tubing on my 190. Seems to work well.


Used to have this for wakeskate on my last boat. Worked great.

Using a cheap Airhead ski rope currently. It sucks, but I'm not on the board enough to invest in a good rope again yet.
 
For the tube, we use a 4 person towing rope that was $14ish in Kohls - Airhead I believe. It has survived being sucked up with no ill effects. Use the double handled Zup rope for the Zup boards. It may also work for other kneeboards.
