Wakeboard Towers
Wakeboard Towers - Reaching New Heights
Wakeboarding, wake surfing, and wake skiing have hit the community of water sports and speaks loudly to extreme sports enthusiasts everywhere. The thrill of extreme air time with the combination of speed has caught the attention of many who crave to push the envelope of gravity.
Besides the actual selection of boat, the wakeboard tower is vital for any form of wakeboarding. At the beginning of the sport the rope was secured to the boat mainly like that of the ski rope. Quickly the desire for elevation took hold and Skylon began producing a seven foot pole (known as a pylon) in which to attach the ski rope. Continued Below:

It wasn’t long until the wakeboard tower became a realization. The main intent behind the wakeboard tower was for offering more stability than that of the pylon. As a result, the universal wakeboard tower has revolutionized the sport of wakeboarding like nothing else. By elevating the rope and offering stability this enables the wakeboarder to reach incredible heights, and longer air time.
The Benefits of a Wakeboard Tower
There are several styles of wakeboard towers currently on the market. They are the Swooped Adjustable, Swooped Two-Piece Cage, Arched, and Cast Aluminum. The initial towers were fixed in design, which made them hard to garage or place in storage during the off seasons.
Most of the universal wakeboard towers produced today are either partially or completely collapsible. The towers are typically made of aluminum, but some are offered in stainless steel. The stainless steel offers more durability than that of aluminum when spending more time in salt water.
Each ski boat has a specific style and character. The appropriate wakeboard tower can greatly enhance the overall appeal of the ski boat. Without a doubt, there are some styles that work better with the overall design concept of a certain ski boat. The ultimate decision in purchasing any style of wakeboard tower is what appeals to personal taste.
The main aspect to remember is that wakeboard towers should enhance the established style of the boat in question. There are very “edgy” boats that offer graphics as extreme as the stunts that can be performed on it. Other boats are very traditional with graphics that consist of clean and crisp lines. When selecting a universal wakeboard tower it is important to maintain the original character of the ski boat.
Typically factory installed wakeboard towers come in either black or white powder coating. The towers are usually graphically designed to fit the color scheme of the rest of the ski boat. When purchasing a tower as an add-on from an aftermarket the options open up to aluminum, brushed aluminum and stainless steel. These are known as a Universal Wakeboard Tower.
Installation of towers can be done in several ways. The factory and boat dealership will typically offer installation for a pretty penny. Most opt for an independent installer. Typically they charge less than the factory and or boat dealership, and work on a faster time frame.
No matter what your individual style might be, there is a wakeboard tower out there for everyone. With a little bit of research, the perfect one can be found. Once again, after the budget and style is determined it is easy to narrow down the selection. Once that is done it will be time to add accessories such as wakeboard tower speakers, mirror or even wakeboard tower lights!
