Slushrope's is excited to offer FREE IN HOUSE customization services tailored around YOU. All ropes customized in size are FINAL SALE and is a free service upon purchase. However, it may require an additional 5-8 business days for customization (as they are made to order). Don't worry, the best things in life are worth waiting for.

Rope Length Recommendations: 

  • 7 FT - Flowmies who are in between 4'7 to 5'2 in height. 
  • 7.5 FT - Flowmies who are in between 4'9 to 5'4 in height.
  • 8 FT - This is the industry standard length, meaning most flow ropes made come in this length. Most people find this length to be the most comfortable choice as it is the most common.
  • 8.5 FT - Flowmies who are in between 5'7 to 6' in height.
  • 9 FT - Flowmies who are in between 5'9 and up in height.

Disclaimer: Some people prefer a flow rope that doesn't touch the ground, a rope that is extra long, while some shorten it to avoid knots.  The information above is simply a recommendation. Most people who utilize this free customization service are flowmies who already own a flow rope and know exactly the length they want.

Because this is final sale, Slushropes wants to ensure that you get all the questions you have answered before purchase! If you would like an in depth rope recommendation, please email info@slushropes.com .

3. Size - Size refers to the diameter of the rope, how thin or thick it is. 

The Size Line Up (thinnest to thickest)

A popular question from the community is: "Why don't you just put the diameter size of the rope instead of using proprietary names? (such as Starter Size, Standard Size, etc.)"

Answer: There are two major answers to this question. First is information retention. Being that Slushropes proudly serves customers worldwide, the standard measurement varies from one's geographical location. This means that some people are accustomed to the imperial system (inches and feet), while some are familiar with the metric system (centimeters and millimeters). Though Slushropes incorporates both systems, customer feedback has shown that the ease of retaining information is a lot easier when using the propriety size chart line up (names instead of numbers). Collectively, people around the world have an easier time remembering the size they're using through its name rather than a specific size number "1/2 inch" "12mm" etc. 

Secondly, this is also to avoid confusion. This part is a lot more technical and requires some understanding with how ropes are made. Here is an example: The "Cheddar Cheese" rope and the "Lychee" rope are both Starter Size. When compared side by side, the Lychee rope appears to be thicker. However, believe it or not, they are the same diameter size.

The diameter of a rope depends: (a) its construction and (b) the amount of material used. Ropes can be made "compact" while some can be braided loosely. With the example mentioned, the Cheddar Cheese (firmer rope) appears to be thinner than the Lychee rope (softer rope). The Lychee rope will appear thicker because it's less compact when braided.

If you feel that this is a lot of information to remember, we hear you. This is why Slushropes prefer its proprietary named size chart!
