Can you still water ski and ride a tube from behind a tower
or does that want to give to much lift for tubbin and slalom ??

You can ski, but pulling a tube is never a good idea, the tube puts way more stress on a tower (and boat where tower attaches) due to the surface area with the water.

You can hook a tube to a tower but you dont want to slalom with a tower. It give you too much lift.

We never tube from the tower. I see people doing it and it scares me a little.

I somtimes pull the smaller biscuits and single tubes from the ski bar, but the giant multi person tubes always from the transom point.

We usually kneeboard off the tower though.

i've let women slalom from the tower. don't think i'd let a dude, esp if he was a really good skier. i don't like burning the gas to go that fast anyway though.

no way i'm pulling a tube from the tower.

Wakeboard, Kneeboard, and small one person tube with a small child less than 100 pounds are the only things we pull from the tower. Ski and other tubes from the transom hook.

this summer we had a guy with a small 17' boat with a tower pullin a tube. he flipped his boat over when he was turning. so i would say its a no go. not sure what kind of tube he had, or how many people he was pullin, but im not going to chance it.

I read the warning labels on a Monster Tower, a stock tower on a Mastercraft x-30 and a Centurion, they all say not to Tube behind a tower, I read about a girl dying a few years back when the tower ripped off and hit her, she was sitting in the rear of the boat while dad was towing her kid brother. It's called a wakeboard tower for a reason!

Exactly!
