Default Rope Height

So I have been wakeboarding for a short while now. I was just wondering how much difference a tower makes in your air height. I would think that it would make a huge difference. Never had the opportunity to ride behind a wake boat with a tower.

Makes a massive difference. Once you have been behind a boat with a tower you will not want to go back!!!!!

Yeah The towers a pretty essential part of the set up... crucial for advancing with wake tricks... you just dont get the hang time without it.
Talk to tower boy.

But surely getting the wake sorted first is more important? I've been wondering this for while, as my dad has been talking about getting a tower, but I reckon there would be no point, if the wake is crap?

Yeah ofcourse the wake is important. But its 6 of one half a dozen of the other. You need a good wake to get you up in the air, you need a tower to keep you up in the air....

Given that you can sort both in time, I would definitely prefer to have the tower/pole first and worry about the big wake later on.

What boat is it by the way?
