Wakeskiing

you dont need to have a tower to ski. it is easer to be towed and pulled up but other than that it isnt really a problem. also you can just use a long tow rope to get pulled.

No but wat I mean is that the propper boats for wakeskiing/boarding have two places to notch the roap that tows you one lower down and one higher up

higher up

you are right that you dont need one, but it sounds like hes going to be more into tricks and whatnot. if so, they make a huge difference in height off the wake. im used to riding behind my friends boat which has a tower, and recently i went riding with a different friend whos boat has no tower and i could barely even clear the wake lol

Like someone above me said, the difference in attaching the rope to a tower vs a ski pylon will be the air you will get off the wake.

I've never wakeskied but if you are looking to do tricks more like wakeboarding then I would attach it to the tower for sure.

If you want it to be more like twin tip short jump skis,  then attach it to the pylon and hit that Kicker.

Ok thanks guys more karma for you once I get on the computer Anyone know Wich stereo ski to chose I'm thinking of the standard

i suggest pursing wakeboarding instead of wakeskiing. Having done both, and being an OK snow skier, i can tell you that wakeskiing is NOTHING like real skiing. In addition, wakeskis have limitations that a wakeboard does not. wakeskis are wobbly and big and clunky, they also dont allow for the pop that wakeboard does, and thus you cannot physical ever go as big as a wakeboarder.

Im sorry if im crushing your hopes and dreams, but i just think you (or anybody else in the world) will have more fun on a board.

Either way, your gonna want a wakeboard boat, and obviously a tower. towing behind your buddies old fishing boat just isnt gonna do anything.
