Wakeboarders are always looking for new ways to do better tricks, move faster, and
jump higher. With that in mind, wake board towers were developed during the early 1990s. These aluminum structures, built onto the back of the motorboat, were designed to allow wakeboarders to complete
higher jumps and therefore improve the tricks they could perform
FINDING THE RIGHT TOWER Although wake board towers
are typically made of aluminum, it is important to make sure that they are well constructed. Wake board towers need to withstand a significant amount of torque, meaning that it is key to purchase one
that will fit correctly. If the measurements are not in line with those of the boat or the mountings do not fit perfectly, you are taking a substantial risk with your investment--not to mention the
safety of the wakeboarders you may be towing.
At Water Ski World, we are dedicated to helping our customers find exactly what they need. Not only do we offer an extensive inventory at competitive
prices, but we also offer unparalleled expertise. In operation for close to 30 years, we continue to work closely with numerous manufacturers, testing their products and helping them improve their
designs. When we recommend wake board tower manufacturers such as Skylon and Lightning, it isn't random, it's because we know the quality of their products first hand.
As avid
participants in the world of water-sports, we look forward to helping our customers. To that end, we have recently added a new feature to our website: our customer service web cam. This device allows
us to directly interact with our customers as we speak to them over the phone. Not only can we now answer all your questions--but we can actually show you what we are talking about at the same time!
Wakeboard Towers Wakeboard towers are usually made
of aluminum and are attached to the back of a motorboat. The wakeboarder attaches his line directly to the tower so that it essentially functions as an elevated rig. The added height of the line gives
the wakeboarder a greater opportunity to complete higher jumps and tricks.
Wakeboard Towers--Providing Greater Thrills In addition to providing riders with more
air, wakeboard towers are usually designed to also serve as board racks. Additionally, the added structure can be customized to carry additional boat lights or even speakers. This offers the added
benefit of creating a lot of extra space on the boat itself. Nevertheless, regardless of its many other functions, a wakeboard tower is first and foremost designed to provide wakeboarders with greater
thrills when they ride.
At Water Ski World, we are proud to offer wakeboard towers designed by Skylon Towers, one of the leading manufacturers in the world. Their patented "Swoop"
designs are perfect for any rider, whether a beginner or professional. Built with aircraft grade aluminum, they offer superior durability while remaining surprisingly light.
Purchasing a wakeboard tower comes with a number of questions: sizing issues, installation procedures, and
necessary accessories. To that end, ordering through Water Ski World can offer you all the answers you need. Our experts are always available to answer any question either via email or directly over the
phone. As opposed to most big box stores or other Internet outlets, we actually know, understand, and use the equipment we sell and can pass on our knowledge and advice to our customers.
