Thanks for the info!! One other question. With my stingray being small, when a wakeboarder cuts, what keeps the boat from tipping that direction? Covering all my bases before I purchase a tower. thanks again.

Re: Wakeboard tower on a Stingray 18 foot
Installed the DIY proswoop tower with board rack this passed weekend, the finish on it was outstanding for aluminum to look chrome, i did the wood backing between the backing brackets and fiberglass along with liquid nails, took it out one hour after it was installed and it pulled me flawlessly, now the problem is the boat is not producing a big enough wake for my liking, it has a stingray hyrdofoil on it, by removing this would it creat a larger wake? more
I have been pulled by several boats a 1983 thompson 19 ft with 4 cylinder with homemade tower, a 2006 Malibu response 21 ft lxi with no tower, a Moomba LSV23 foot with tower and and ballast tanks, and most notebly my former bayliner capri 17ft with 85 hp force outboard and no tower. The best boat I was pulled buy was the moomba it pulled so smoothly, the thompson with the homemade tower pulled me really nice, then next is my friends mailbu which pulls like an animal and is more for the slalom skiing, and then my poor bayliner which would tow me like 10 feet before the board would pop out. I honestly think the waketower pulls you at a more natural angle, but there was no comparison with any of thest boats with the Moomba LSV, however I do not have the budget for a $50k boat, instead I had 6 grand, got the nicest boat i could find that would suite multiple purposes for family, cruising, fishing, wakeboarding.

Another challenging technique you need to master in wakeboarding is riding switch, that is in your non-natural, reversed stance – right foot forward is you’re “regular”, left foot forward if you’re “goofy”. here
See this post about how to drive a boat for wakeboarding.
If learning at a cable park, the rope is a lot more elevated than on a boat – including one with a wakeboard tower – so you get much more of an upward pull. For some learners, this can make riding harder as it causes them to lean further backward, which can result in a wobbly ride. here
Keep reading to learn how these aspects can impact the learning curve for wakeboarding.
As a result, after a few tries, your arms get tired and you may get a bit discouraged. But successfully getting up on a wakeboard is all about technique and does not involve strength – female learners tend to succeed quicker as they typically don’t put force into it.
After a fall, take a moment to gather yourself, make sure you’re not injured. Then just start swimming! Don’t swim aimlessly though, find yourself a “safe” spot. [links]
One unique thing about cable parks is that when a rider falls, it’s up to them to get themselves back to shore and to the starting dock. There is no boat to come pick them up.
Knowing the “danger zones” is important preparation before you even get in the water. All parks I’ve been to usually have some kind of a posted rule about this, but I’ve created some visuals to help explain what it looks like and why you should avoid them.
In general, always swim towards shore or the outside of the cable. Otherwise you’ll have to change direction at some point and you’ll just be wasting energy. [links]
Why should you learn about them? Can’t others just look out for you and avoid you? Well, sometimes, but that doesn’t always work.
