Abstract: A device for attachment of a tow rope to a boat for enhancing the performance of a user engaged in a water sport activity. The device comprises a booster assembly, a housing, a pivot joint assembly for rotatably connecting the device to the boat, a tow knob for attaching the tow rope to the device, and a handle component. A method of using the device includes applying a load to the device to generate a resistance, displacing the bias element, and releasing the resistance from the device. The force generated, when the load applied to displace the bias element is released, provides the user with a boost sling-shot effect. The resulting boost may provide the user with longer airtime thus enabling one to perform better acrobatic maneuvers in the air inside or outside the wake. The recoil properties of the apparatus provide the user with softer landing capabilities. The apparatus further provides no stretch or pull while turning into the wake or when landing a jump.

Abstract: An apparatus for attachment of a tow rope to a boat for enhancing the performance of a user engaged in a water sport activity. The apparatus comprises a recoil element attached between the user end and the boat end. The apparatus may attach to a boat, tower or pylon. When a load of sufficient force is applied to the recoil element and then released, the force exerted may provide the user with a boost sling-shot effect. The resulting boost may provide the user with longer airtime thus enabling one to perform better acrobatic maneuvers in the air inside or outside the wake. The recoil properties of the apparatus provide the user with softer landing capabilities. The apparatus further provides no stretch or pull while turning into the wake or when landing a jump.
