what to do next

hi. i am just wondering do u need a hi-fly pole to get good air . i have been wakeborading for a good while with the rope at the bottom and cant get air. the wake is good off a searay 250. whats the problum...

hmm. well, im not saying your wrong, but sometimes wakes can be decieving. they look nicely shaped and big, but they are too soft and the dont kick you. you end up going right through them and not getting a whole lot of air. that could be your problem. but other than that, yes, pylons help pull you up a little bit. not only that, but its easier to do trixx when your rope is elevated. having your rope up @ 7 ft or so makes magic

Dude, its not going to be wether you have a tower/pylon or not, its going to be your technique. Work on progressive edging and really work on standing tall at the top of the wake. Maybe buy Building a Foundation (the 1st disk in The Book instructional dvd) and jsut watch that to get the proper technique stomped.

Heres a link to another thread about having a tower or not:

like marcuskg, said,,,,its more technique,,,,try keeping your progressive edge all the way to the top of the wake and stand tall (dont jump), this will get you more air i would say....i ride behind a searay 220 select without a tower or pylon and doing this boots me up there pretty high.
