Solving the Problem

8A. Solving the Problem


I have come up with a product that solves the problem many water sports enthusiasts often run into while out on the water. When beginning to water ski, wake board, wake surf, or tube behind a boat, the first step is taking out the rope, untangling it, and adjusting it to which activity you are going to do. Not only is it a hassle to untangle when beginning to ride, it is also dangerous when it tangles while in the water. When the rope becomes tangled while in the water, it sinks. This is very dangerous because it could easily get caught in your boats engine propeller and cause a lot of expensive damage.   The product I have come up is a self deploying and self receiving device that hold the wakeboard rope in a compact circular structure to assure no tangles or knots occur. Simply press a button to release and retrieve the rope to adjust the length. Easily pull the rope in when the skier/ rider/ boarder is finished by the push of a button to ensure the rope does not get caught in propeller. You never have to worry about tying knots onto a cleat ever again because one side of the device universally fits every cleat so it is easily removable. To summarize, the product organizes, releases, and retrieves the rope used to tow water sports enthusiasts and aims to keep the vessel and everyone involved is safe.
