If you like to catch a gust of air while wakeboarding, wakeboard towers can help you a lot. Wakeboard towers are designed to provide you extra height and time for remaining airborne and having fun with the various tricks. With more air caught up between you and the wakeboard, the suspension time or ‘hangtime' increases, giving you more scope to perform in mid-air.
This is the reason why you find a wakeboard rope usually fastened with a ski pole or a tow hook at the lower part of the wakeboard boat tied to an 8 feet high wakeboard tower. This gives the rider of the wakeboard the advantage of being pulled from a higher tow point that changes the angle of towing and creates better chances of a ‘loft' during the air jump.
If you have ever seen a rider performing without wakeboard towers, you will find them being pulled back down toward the water's surface immediately after being airborne. This mainly is due to the low tow point that creates a problem. However, if you venture to get your wakeboard rope attached to a high wakeboard tower, you can have much more fun in air before the tow point pulls you down. |
