Re: DIY pro wake vs krypt pro air towers
Been very satisfied with my DIY wake tower (Pro swoop). I hesitated briefly on the thinner legs at the time. But now that I own it, I do not see how 2.25" legs would be better than 2.0" legs for this purpose. My 2.0" tower is absolutely stiff as a board, dead quiet, and doesn't flex or creak one bit. And we're pretty tough on it at times.
I do not need to fold mine to get it in my garage, and I hope I never need to. It isn't horrible, but it's far from a "pull the pin and drop it" type of routine. You need a hex wrench, undo two bolts and loosen four more. When I put mine together I put it together TIGHT. I wouldn't think that repeated loosening and unbolting would promote a tight/quiet tower over time. And many of these bolts are threaded into aluminum. I'd think that eventually repeated usage will hog the threads out of the aluminum blocks.
But I am just theorizing, so honestly I could be wrong on my predictions above. My DIY Wake tower is reportedly foldable, but I've never folded it...and hopefully I never will need to.
