Well a tall pylon, or a tower is much better. Judging from your skill level since you can't cross the wake i wouldn't go out and buy one though. Wait ATLEAST untill your clearing the wake.
The tower or pylon will not effect you when your crossing the wake, but for w2w and jumps it helps you get more hangtime and that is about it. It lets you reach higher in the air. |

well i know many people who clear the wake and one guy does a tantrum with the rope attached there, so i know it isnt great, but it doesn't hold you back that much

| I ride behing a Fishing boat with the line attached to the back. Me and my friend are working on w2w 180s and 360s. You might not get enough air but you dont need a tower or pylon til you get consistent with the basics. |

Once you try to do a raley behind a fishing boat with the rope low you will wish you had a tower  |

A tower or pylon will not make you go any higher, just help you stay up there a little longer.

yeah a tower or pylon keeps you in the air longer so you are able to do more difficult tricks
