You gotta change your tow point by raising it up, therefore get a pole or a tower...

Higher pylon or longer rope so its not pulling you down at such a severe angle. Why dont you check out a monkey bar or an extended pylon.

I would worry more about my technique then your pole height. I am sure if Darin Shapiro rode behind your boat he would get a whole heck of a lot more height then you. Your enemy is gravity, not pole height. Yea, get a tower/extended pylon or whatever, but don't blame the pole for your lack of air. Just being honest.

true...but darin wouldn't get as much air as he would if he had a pole/tower.

STPHNSN23, I bet you could get some huge air on your tube with an extended pylon.

so if one had a 30ft. high pole one would get more air right off the get go?Yeah, thats what i thought.I can't remember just how terrible it was when wakeboarding was just being introduced.If i get a wakeboard with springs on the bottom i should be able to get 20 ft. in the air.
