no, it is not nessicary. but searching is.
a tower will help with most, and there will be a point where you will feel restrained becaue you don't have one, but the pros have been throwing down behind unweight ski boats doing mobes at the begenning of the sport. |

All a tower does is give you more hang time and will make getting up easier. _________________ i have mastered the art of the wipeout. |

nahh you dont need a tower. I can get plenty of air on my w2w jump with out one. The only thing the tower does is not pull you down just a little more hangtime. _________________ 93 four winns

Towers apparently help you get up easier or so my dad said . I learned to w2w behind an old ski nautique and many have done w2w's behind a sea-doo. It's all a matter of getting a feel for the wake before the tower throws you out into the flats.
Plus: Towers make the crappiest of boats look sweet!  _________________
