T-bar, small handle, or no handle, there is always a possibility of getting your hand/arm snagged.
I run the Ronix surf rope with large knots and really like it, but it does make it a tad harder for newer surfers to get out of the water with. I do have a handled rope as well and if I have newbies with I'll throw both on the tower and switch back and forth as needed, but always worry about getting caught in the handle. The T-ropes are nice, I do like those for getting up over the knotted rope, so I would take that one as my 2nd favorite style.
Anyhow, I always advise my skiiers/boarders to "throw" the rope when they are done. Toss it straight up in the air when you're done to avoid this situation as much as possible. Likewise the VERY first lesson I give, and really try to hammer it home, is to "LET GO" if something doesn't feel or look right. We'll come back for you, don't get drug along. Lots tend to forget that though, so a watchful eye from the captain is always required. [links]
As a climbing rope, it’s more slippery than manila, partly because of the slick texture and partly because it doesn’t absorb moisture from your hands.
You could fit one of those two models of Rogue anchors on a ton of other brands of racks and pick up some shorter bolts if needed. Just be aware of the hole size (5/8″ for the Monster Lite, 1″ for the Monster) and the fact that you want holes pretty low on the rack to mount to, about a foot off the ground. here
Cheap battle ropes made of too much polypropylene are not worth it. Get a good one. Cheap ones feel stiff and don’t break in like a good rope with a high percentage of polydacron. Cheap manufacturers you’ve never heard of will go the cheapest route. They will also use the cheapest heat-shrink for the handles that might rip or stretch easily, letting your rope unravel.
The ends of the ropes are secured from unwinding with some type of thermoplastic material, otherwise known as heat-shrink, which means they are shrunk tightly onto the rope with a heat gun. They conveniently double as handles for you to grip more easily than you could grip the bare rope. [links]
1.5″ is the standard thickness most people should use, man or woman, strong or weak. This is the thickness you’ll see in the majority of battle ropes for sale. more

Figuring out what type of glue to use to adhere one material to another is important. Since there are endless combinations of things that could be adhered together, there needs to be some sort of guide. For example, we needed to glue a piece of wood to metal that was going to hold over 100 pounds. We needed to find out the absolute best type of glue or adhesive to use to hold these 2 different materials together. We ended up finding a guide for gluing just about any type of material together. It’s called This To That and it will show you the most recommended type of glue to adhere things together. Below we have common materials and what type of glue or adhesive to use to hold them together.

The chain is about 3 feet long and 1/4 inches thick. It has a shackle with 3/8 inches pin in place and an inside clearance of 1-1/4 inches. These are standard sizes and will fit almost all anchors or thimbles depending on where you are connecting it to. The chain is lightweight weighing 2 pounds which will be advantageous while retrieving anchor as it puts less strain on your arm. more
You can conveniently connect the rope to the anchor as it comes with a stainless steel thimble which is 3 inches long and 28/5 inches wide. This is another added advantage as the thimble will not succumb to corrosion when used in saltwater.
The installation of the anchor rode is pretty straightforward. Just find the right type of rope and chain and attach the chain to the anchor and the line to the vessel. After you do it, you will be ready to go in the sea and after that – to throw down the anchor! Check the manual and/or the instructions of the anchor to be sure you are doing it right.
Easy to repair and splice, very stretchable. The strength is significant for the size. An excellent choice for longer trips. But this type of rope is susceptible to chafe. Be careful and always check the line and repair it, when needed. [links]
