Hey i ve been wakeboarding for a little over a year and i still cant go w2w. i can i get about 2/3 over. i can do 1wake 180s and 3s but i just cant seem to get more pop. do you think a pylon would help even a little?

thanks

I doubt that it will help unless you are being pulled down by whatever you are getting pulled by. Towers/pylons don't help untill you are being pulled down.

You can do a 3 and you can't clear the wake? Wow.. your wake must be very wide or something.

But the pylon won't help you get more air unless you are getting pulled down, so if that's the case then yes it will help.

And i dont think that your getting pulled down unless your wake and board have tons of vertical pop. One thing that I was doing that didn't allow me to clear the wake was while i was in the air i was still standing straight up. when your in the air pull your knees to your chest.

I've seen sum guys get sum proper height and clear the wake without a tower or pylon so I cnt imagine that bein the problem. I would work on your progressive edge and approach to the wake coz that is what produces your pop.
