im getting Heelside W2W's easy, but i im only getting 4 and 5 feet of air.

i have the rope attached to the bottom part of the boat because we dont have a tower. if the rope were attached to a tower or pylon would that help me out?

it might help a bit, but good technique is key.

it's all in the progressive edge and not flattening out your edge as you go up the wake.

Hangtime is not equal to air. Tower & pole gives you hangtime but that does not mean you automatically will get more air!
