Hi guys,

Me and some friends were wondering what the thing was skiers use to give them speed on a flat surface before an obstacle. It's like a rope (similar to the ones they hold onto in wakeboarding/water skiing) that is attached to what looks like a generator that spins, winds the rope in fairly quickly and therefore gives the skier speed. Does anyone know the name of this and/or where we could buy one?
Cheers,
Ryan
