"Do most tow boats on your lake resemble dune buggies more than competition ski boats these days? The changing look of today's tow boats is largely due to the growing popularity of the tower. Originally introduced as a wakeboard-specific option used for big-air moves, the tower is now being used by all water-sports disciplines. " |

"Don't you love the way a wakeboarder's boat sits in the water? It rides low. It slithers across the lake like a water moccasin on the prowl. It idles up to the dock, full of tanned, skinny guys and Reef Brazil-like girls, then seems to say in a growling, basey, Tone Loc-like voice, "Yo, man, wha's up?"" |

"Are you in training for a slalom record on a private site, or will your family be pulling tubes and combos up the river? Do you need more speed than space? Are you willing to pay for just the essentials or all the extras? Does passenger comfort matter as much as wake shape?" |

"You power up in your friend's tournament boat and immediately feel something different. Your boat holds a straight course with hardly any effort, but the steering wheel in your buddy's boat pulls to the right, and if you let go of the wheel, the boat veers off course." |

"Nothing can ruin a good day of skiing or riding faster than a bad pull, and with the exception of a few world-class tournament drivers, most of us could stand to fine-tune our driving skills. When it comes to giving the perfect pull, nothing beats practice, but most of us also welcome any pointers we can get." |
