Default tube for wakeboard training

Hi Folks, do you know were I can find a tube that mounts to my tower and off to the side. It lets beginner wake boarders hang on and get the feel of the wakeboard without having to be pulled up. Like a monkey bar on the side of the boat that extends out and they hang on to that.

Default Re: tube for wakeboard training

Every one I have ever seen mounts to a pylon that is floor mounted on inboard boats. I have never seen a boom that could mount to a tower, I'm sure something could be made but it would be very intrusive to the interior of the boat(which I'm assuming is an inboard). I would look into the pylon mounted one or see what other options there are. If you are running an I/O then none of this matters as I'm sure you know it's not possible to do with anything other than an inboard. Look at some companies that make barefoot accessories. good luck...

At wakeboard speeds, if you caught an edge, would you hit your head on the boom? It sure slaps you down like a pancake.
