I just recieved my new WBM and in the back where the ads r, i saw this thing called a Wake Wing made by Big Air Pylons. It looks like it goes on ur tower and i guess supposively uses air resistance for a bigger wake?!?!?!?!?!?! Anyone come acroos this and what do u guys think of it?????? Think it accually works????????

At 20-24 mph I don't think that there would be enough down force to make a difference. I saw it in there too and it looked cool but I doubt that it would work

dude, even if i t did work, think of the stress you would put on your tower and tower mounts. the thing is a joke.

i would definately not get it. you would have to have such good supports and a strong deck for it not to crack it.

yeah, I'm not seeing that working Confused

would seem to put a lot of stress on the tower also.

you create more downward force by pulling against the tower that that wing thing would. i bet the people who have them on their hondas would like them.

Otis: I was going to say the same thing! They couldn't add too much downforce, no more than an ice cooler full of beer Wink

HAHAHAHA. do it . then if you do. i think id have to cry. cuz it would be super homosexual...but im guessing that was sarcastic

I think the weight of the actual wing itself would produce more downforce than the design of it. 21mph? Wouldn't do a thing. If it does, show us the proof. HOMO. Ha Ha I would love it if a pro put that thing on their boat, possibly worse than being sponsored by Rusty Very Happy

A great way to make yourself look like an idiot... Anyone remember the 'Stiffy Tower'?

Hey CM, whats wrong with Rusty?

Josh: Just not a big fan. Although, when I was at college, I did have a really cool pair of olive green corduroy cargo pants from Rusty. That sounds really bad now that I type it (corduroy cargo pants?) but they were actually really cool (In my 16yo mind). I have 1 pic of me wearing them, longish hair a' flowin, great stuff. I'll try and post it if this thread is still alive by the time I get it scanned.

Haha, I've gotta see that pic...

I kinda like Rusty, because one of my good friends is sponsored by them... Very Happy

So do those fish on the I's mean that this this tower wing thing has something to do with Jesus? Maybe it's to give Him a place to push down to give you bigger wake?

Sorry if I'm offending anyone. I was just imagining a commercial for the thing where a giant finger comes out of the clouds and pushes down on the wing or something...maybe with some choir singing or something. That would be funny.

i'm not sure they were thinking the same thing you were when they put the fish over the i's. but nice try tho, any way you look at it that thing wont help your wake.
