Float Tether (12 ft) Most tethers are just glorified bungee cords — they stretch to double their length, so pulling your float back in feels like a tug-of-war, and every passing wake sends it bouncing around like a pinball. The SunChill Float Tether is different. Built with 50% stretch Dacron-coated shock cord, it absorbs wakes and waves smoothly — enough give to keep your float from jolting, not so much that you can't pull it back in. When a boat passes, your float moves with the water. When you're ready to come in, you actually pull the rope — not a stretched-out mess. The hardware matches the cord. Two 316 stainless steel carabiners that won't rust, pit, or seize up after a season in saltwater. Clip on, clip off — no tools, no fuss.
