Hey popcorn playa,

As with any wing on just about anything including rice burners, airplanes, boats, 18 wheelers - you gotta be going about 100 mph for it to have any affect - at wakeboarding speed downward force will be in the neighbourhood of 0.

yeah that's what i was thinking as well, but as we all know, people have gotten weirder things to work.

Hey popcorn playa,

I'll say, did you see the post with that thing that raises your tow point ten feet higher than your tower? Also has a steadying sail to go with it....strange contraption....

You mean the Stiffy Tower - http://www.stiffytower.com Only $1495!!! Now a picutre of a boat with that and a wakewing would be priceless.

just somehing to throw money at. Some companies don't care what they sell as long as they think they can get a sale. I'd like to hear the logic behind anyone's decision to actually buy one of those.

Man talk about having a redneck-ricer looking boat... All you need after you add those 2 items is a few Type-R stickers to go along with it.

In this case the R in Type-R stands for RETARDED.

what a waste of money.

well when the wind blows, you just turn off the engine and you can tow people using wind power!

But seriously though unless you are a parks bonifay and are clearing the height of your tower off nearly every wake jump, then why the hell would you ever want to raise your tow point?
As for having a redneck rig, all you have to do is find a way to rig a bbq grill to the bow and i think it would be complete.
