is this high enough for an invert...i know i am already on my way down but its the only pic i have. Also how is this height considering i dont have a tower? the rope is coneected directly to the swim platform.

How did you manage do tie it directly to the swim grid? I am guessing you might have enough height and see how it turns out.

Are you gonna be tryin the invert from behind that boat or one with a tower on it?? I would say try it either way but by using the boat in the pic you will be pulled down some.

You're plenty high for an invert and damn high for no tower. Nice work.

Throw a backroll easy.

go for it, I tried a bunch with our old boat, no ballast, no tower. You've got plenty of height

Byerly and Gator and many others did it a long time ago with no towers.
Nice air! Go for it!

Yea I agree you could totally do it. And if you end up seeming to not have enough air, just drive a double up, thats what I have to do behind our boat for rolls.

You won't get any higher with a tower. Anyone who tells you that doesn't know squat. What you will do however is be able to pass the handle easier on spins, and be able to keep it in on inverts.

And yes...you are plenty high for an invert. Nice pic btw.

It gives you more hangtime, not air. I my self get pretty close to that height, now im stoaked to try a tantrum, or b-roll
