When I started out I could only get halfway across the wake, but when I got a pylon on the boat I was jumping w2w. I also think that your wake and speed and rope have something to do with it, but if you keep at it you will get it down. Hope this helps.

You dont need a tower. I can go W2W easy and into the flats w/out a tower with a small ass wake.

Learn how to edge properly, it makes a world of differance.

either faster boat speed or shorter rope length will get the wakes closer together.

alot of people have differnet ways of explaining how to edge..but i think its more of going out into the flats turn back slowly and then put pressure on your heels...try to show the bottom of your board to the boat and keep your handle close to your waist

You dont need a tower. It took me about 3 weekends out on the lake to go w2w. I can now land in the flats and get good air without a tower.
