Aftermarket handlepole / pole bracket

Ski division only.

This is one body's answer, not the sport's. You are bound by whichever body sanctions the event you enter, and where both govern you, you are held to the stricter of the two. The differences are set out in the rulebook comparison.

Vintage Ski allows an aftermarket pole; Vintage Ski Limited does not. Same 550 hull, opposite answer.
