rope handles

do ski or slalom handles work just as good as wakeboard handles? is there a difference in performance?

ski handles tend to be shorter, which makes handle passes harder, and a wider handle that is meant for wakeboarding will also allow you to be more stable. At least that what it said in my instructional book back when I was first getting started and I just never thought to question it, I never rode with a water ski handle because i just got a wake board one because of that (needed to get a new one anyway) but it makes sense

good call wake genie.. i think ski handles are usually a lot harder too... no soft EVA like our wonderful plush wake handles

at least get a good line.

heck yeah billy! good line is way more important than good handle! I loves my A-line
