Eagle Sports is proud to announce the release of a new rope to the barefoot waterski market.
Eagle Dynaline is a rope designed to incorporate the features top barefoot waterski athletes are
looking for including strength, durability, versatility, ease of use, and value.
Over the last 5-10 years, barefooters have been skiing on Spectra, Spectra Fusion, or Spectra Core
Fusion. Spectra has been widely accepted for its strength and non-stretch characteristics. But
over the last several years, Dyneema® has been making its way into the high-end watersports
market in place of Spectra mainly due to its superior strength characteristics. Dyneema® has the
same non-stretch characteristics but is much stronger than Spectra, lighter weight, and floats.
EXCEPTIONAL STRENGTH
A rope made with Dyneema® is as strong as a steel wire rope, with the same diameter but only
about 10% of the weight per meter. It outperforms steel and other synthetic rope materials in terms of both tension fatigue and bending fatigue.
DURABILITY
The properties of Dyneema® are not impaired by sea water and the ropes’ breaking strength remains constant in wet or dry conditions. These ropes
have good UV resistance, and are unaffected by oil or commonly used chemicals. They also show good abrasion resistance.
Eagle uses 12 strands of Dyneema® braided together as the core of our barefoot lines. We then encase the Dyneema® core in an outer protective shell
made of 16 strands of braided solid polypropylene. The solid strands in the outer casing resist scuffing and abrasion and will not show white scuffs
when scraped which is common with Spectra fusion ropes.
EASE OF USE
Barefooters are constantly changing handles from wake slalom handles to a fronttoe handles and then to back toe handles. It can be frustrating when the loops in
your rope don’t fit over the handles you use. So, when we developed Eagle
Dynaline, we made sure to design them to allow for all handle types. Each rope is
made up with a 7 inch (regulation) loop at one end and an 18” loop at the other
end which easily fits over front and back toe trick handles. Our 5ft and 10ft
extensions use a 12” loop at both ends.
VALUE (Better Rope, Less Price)
High-end waterski gear has continued to increase in cost. To help skiers reduce overall costs, we’re offering our customers several choices when
purchasing Eagle’s Dynaline Barefoot ropes.
Option A: Traditional Mainline Pak: 70ft Dynaline mainline + two (2) 10ft Dynaline extensions
Option B: Freestyle Pack: 60ft + 10ft Dynaline extension + 10ft black poly-E extension for working flips and surface turnes + 5ft extension for leader line
off Super Fly-High + 2-1/2 ft Dynaline extension for leader line off boom for Freestyle footing options. 60ft line is also perfect for wakeboarders making
your line even more versatile. The Freestyle pack offers total waterski flexibility. You can practice surface turns and flips at 70 ft utilizing a combination
of the 60ft line and 10 ft extensions. Maybe you prefer zero stretch, just add the 10ft Dynaline extension. If you want some give, add the 10ft poly-E
extension. When you’re ready to try some Freestyle moves on the boom, you won’t have to go looking for old ropes to create the right line lengths.
You’ll have several options to choose from in your Eagle Freestyle Dynaline Pak.
Option C: Purchase Eagle Dynaline by the foot. Place an order with us and specify the exact length you’d like as well as size of loops at each end.
