I keep trying to go wake to wake but cant. I think it is because i dont have a tower. How much is a tower? Should I get one? Will I go wake to wake with a tower? Please help

Make sure u cut all the way through the wake. DO NOT FLATTEN OUT ON THE WAKE. Cut all the way through straighten your legs and u will land way out in the flats.... garanteed!

jflo452, dont get disrespectfull if your asking for advice. A tower has nothing to do with going w2w. Its YOUR technique. Don't blame it on your boat,wake,board,bindings, or towerless. Its all on your technique. A decent tower will range anywhere from 700-2200. No you shouldn't get a tower unless you have the money to spend on one and you want to get one. It will not help with your riding unless you are more intermediate/advanced rider. If you suck without a tower, then you will suck with a tower. It all comes down to your technique.

Yeah man, a tower wont help you. I saw a guy throwin tantrums and frontrolls with no tower a few weeks ago, so you dont need a tower to go waketowake

wow, you guys are a little slow on the uptake today. this is a thread mocking the recent number of "will spending $600 on a new board from ronix make me better?" and "my wake's not big enough for me to clear the wake toeside, so i'm going to add 2000 lbs. of lead" threads.

JV, but....he didn't add the tradmark three smilies, so how could we tell? Laughing

MinnesotaBoarder, hence the word "mocking"

Justin 25, i agree, he should have atleast added one of these Rolling Eyes

to make his point more clear

Also, last time I checked, Mastercraft was putting towers on their $55k wakeboard boats, so one look at his profile would have saved everyone the effort of explaining, yet again, the importance of fundamentals

JV, exactly, I mean...we're clearly lost without it. Very Happy

jflo452, you have an X-2 without a tower??

1. Can you get it like that?? It's a wakeboard boat....
2. Wouldn't that look tacky without a tower on that boat?

Robert Harp, if you're trying to be funny...well, just stop

JV, I hope he's just trying to be funny. Laughing

cant robert harp say something

JV · Posted: Oct 07, 2006 5:52 pm Post subject:

unfortunately, yes he can, and far too frequently

Robert Harp · Guest

d22, nobody here really respects me.

JV, they were two questions. He's asking about putting a tower on a boat and under his profile it says he rides behind an X-2.

That AND under his pics he's throwing Crows, grabs, spins.... ALL W2W or in the flats.

JV · Posted: Oct 07, 2006 6:07 pm Post subject:

Robert Harp, the 7 posts before yours were all about how this thread is meant to be a joke and jflo isn't really asking whether or not he needs a tower (his boat already has one) and is having no troubles going w2w. Also, in those same pictures you just looked at, the tow point is clearly well above the handle. So, basically you just didn't read all those posts or you're REALLY dense.

HHI Dave, naw.. you think? Shocked
