ABSTRACT:
A traction arrangement for use by a sail surfer or water skier who is pulled along by holding onto a bar-shaped member connected to pulling apparatus, has two pulling elements which are arranged to be worn by a user and each having a leading end, and two connecting elements for detachably connecting the pulling elements to the bar-shaped member. Each of the connecting elements is provided at the leading end of a respective one of the pulling elements and is flexible so as to be deformable about the bar-shaped member by a pressure of the user's hands to thereby engage the bar-shaped member in frictional connection with the latter. In the event of a fall or when the user wishes to disengage the bar-shaped member, cessation of pressure by the user's hands suffices to terminate the frictional connection. The connecting elements may be formed by inner portions of gloves which are connected to the pulling elements. A method of manufacturing such gloves includes the steps of providing a glove reinforcing element having a surface which corresponds to an inner surface of the user's hand, positioning an immersion mold which has portions corresponding to glove fingers, on this surface of the reinforcing element, and immersing the mold in a glove-forming material so as to form the glove as the coating of the mold.
