| how much air do you get at 50 and how much is expected from a tower or pylon? I'm told I get about 4 to 5ft right now, but I'm always looking for more. that is why I was wondering about the tower for cut speed for charging the wake.....does a tower really help in charging the wake or is it about the same as not having a tower? |

I ride a 60' line in a Baja (not a wakeboarding boat) from the ski eye on the deck and can easly make it out on to the flatts every time.. I can pull up to 8 feet of air off it too.. Let your rope out a bit and you might try to run the boat a bit faster 19-22 mph so that your progressive edging can work batter for you. Also as far as the air question there is some good info on the "Trick Tips" --- How do I jump High..
