Austin, Texas, May 14, 2003 – SKIREEL
Watersports LLC, manufacturer of the PATENTED WakePro, has
commercially launched the sports’ first fully adjustable tow
rope system. After years of R&D and engineering, the WakePro
hits the market at www.skireel.com. The WakePro was born out of
necessity and innovation. Eddie Valverde, President of SKIREEL
Watersports LLC states, “Having the ability to instantly
adjust the rope length as you ride without having to stop the boat
is a natural evolutionary step for the sport of wakeboarding not to
mention wakesurfing and wakeskating.”
Every rider has a preferred rope length and it can change
depending on many factors including ballast and speed. Instantly
adjusting to these conditions is what the WakePro is all about.
With the WakePro, you don’t have to stay married to five-foot
incremental rope sections because you can reel out or in to any
length. The convenience of completely reeling in the mainline
between and after sessions is an added feature that keeps the rope
from getting tangled, knotted and off of the boat’s
floor.
The WakePro features a universal clamp system from Skylon and
Mako that fits all wakeboarding towers. Though all sectioned
mainlines can be used with the WakePro, 90 foot all one length
ropes from Masterline, Accurate, Straightline, Wakecord™ and
others are available from SKIREEL. The driver and spotter can
operate the dash-mounted switch on the fly. The onboard 12-volt
battery supplies power to the WakePro via a heavy gauge
harness.
To kick off the season, The WakePro will be touring the country
with Charley Patterson’s and Jon Lindsay’s Mission 2
Ride Tour www.mission2ride.com as well as Shaun Murray’s and
Gerry Nunn’s Backyard Tour. For updates, events, and to buy
