ABSTRACT:
A ski tow arrangement for water skiing comprising an elongated handle having a pair of transverse openings and a tow line having free ends terminating in a loop extending into each of the openings. A flat T-shaped retainer is engaged by each of the loops and includes a central portion extending into the handle with laterally projecting barbs engaging opposing wall surfaces of the handle openings for resisting removal. The head portions of the T-shaped retainers abut an external rearward edge of the handle. The handle itself comprises a wooden core into which the retainer barbs are embedded, an aluminum sleeve surrounding the core and a casing of resilient friction material molded over the core. A pair of sleeves are formed integrally with the casing and project forwardly of the handle coaxially with the core openings for embracing the tow line and protecting a skier's hands from abrasion thereagainst.
