Oh yeah, I have a tower since the beginning of the summer and it's so amazing. Last year I was riding without one and I was having so much difficulties to jump w2w. If you try one, you won't be able to resist! Smile

Because some people say that they dont make much of a difference and its not worth the money, but everytime i see someone getting huge air, they have a tower or a pylon.

huge difference. buy a tower and slap it on your boat. pylons are a hassle, but get teh job done.

Towers don't make much of a difference if you can barely clear the wake on a normal ski hook. The tower only helps when you get to the point where the ski hook is pulling down when you jump, which is why you see all the big air people having towers.

I do reccomend a tower or pylon though, i use to ride off of a ski hook thing and it eventually made me unable to go any higher with my jumps. Then i moved on to a tower and it made a great difference.

id say the cheapest option would be an extended pylon....it latches on to your normal sky pylon and then has liek an anchor that latches on to the front of your boat, they look like stuff but hey....
