Waterskiing is a highly popular watersport and one that allows you to hurtle across the surface of the water at incredibly high speeds while enjoying wonderful views and placing yourself in very minimal danger of falling off and hurting yourself – after all you are surrounded by the soft landing that is water so you are unlikely to hurt yourself Along with wake surfing and wake skating, wakeboarding is one of the most rapidly growing watersports today. In wakeboarding the idea is to travel at high speeds and to perform jumps off and over waves to perform tricks and to enjoy getting air. To achieve this a combination of the skill of the wakeboarder, the speed of the boat and the tautness of the rope are in play and as the wakeboarder jumps off of the larger wakes, the boat will often raise the tow rope in order to keep them in the air for longer. This is where waekboarding towers come into play. Wakeboarding towers originally started as large pylons around seven foot tall which were attached to the boat in order to raise the rope. However these were later refined to become wakeboarding towers which added more support and allowed for the support cable to be removed. Wakeboarding towers additionally can then be used to hang wakeboards that are not currently in use which helps to keep the boat tidy and allow space for moving around etc. In other cases these wakeboarding towers can be used for a range of other purposes – sometimes to mount speakers and in other cases a lighting source. These have become very popular and many ski boat manufacturers now include wakeboard towers in their initial design. However in other cases it will be necessary to fix on your own wakeboard towers, or to request them from the manufacturers. This is not as simple a process as one might imagine as there are more than one type of wakeboard and other various options to consider. When choosing your wakeboard towers it helps to be aware of the precise requirements you have and what's available. The first thing to check is that the tower will fold. This is useful as it allows you to fold the tower away and that means that it can be placed out of the way when you're not using it. That in turn means that the boat can be used for purposes other than solely wakeboarding allowing you to get more from your boat purchase. You should also consider getting a tower with a built in rack. This is the part of the wakeboard tower that allows you to move your other items off of the floor and out of the way. This won't just save your space, but also help make the boat safer. Similarly a crossbar section is a good check, and this will enable you to keep the tower locked in position so that it cannot come lose. You should also think about the installation aspect – look at how hard it is to install, and consider checking online. If the manufacturer has a helpline this can be of enormous value if you begin struggling with the construction. A wakeboarding tower, also known as a wake tower, is very useful for getting more air and storing your items. Follow the links to find out more.
