Information About Your Next Wake Board Tower

A wake board tower is the large metal structure attached to many boats used to pull wakeboard riders that has a number of functions. The wake board tower can either stand up straight as it will need to do when you are using it, or it can be designed to collapse down against the boat to avoid damaging the wake board tower or the boat as you zip around the water. Some people prefer a more subdued and practical wake board tower while others look at a wake board tower as the chance to show some of their personality while carrying their wakeboards around for fun in the sun.

When many people see a wake board tower for the first time they are inclined to believe that they can make one on their own and save themselves a huge chunk of the cost of buying a ready made wake board tower, or the cost of having a professional make a custom wake board tower. A wake board tower is attached to your boat, and can sometimes have other equipment attached to it, and if it is not built correctly then there can be problems down the road with the result being damage to the boat or even injuries. It may seem like a great thing to build your own tower and save yourself some money but if you do it wrong you could wind up paying for it in the end.

Make It Shine

Many people like to customize their tower and that can consist of either a custom paint job that makes the tower look sharp and like it deserves to stand out or it can also mean adding things like lights and speakers to the tower to make it a fully functioning tower. Many people like to put very powerful, and waterproof, speakers on their tower so that they can blast music when they are on their wakeboard. Just remember that your speakers absolutely need to be waterproof as they are going to be on a boat that will be moving at very high speeds.

Most people like to make a day of wakeboarding trips so that is why they like to customize their wake board towers. Just remember that the primary job of a wake board tower is to carry your wakeboards so don't customize it to the point where it can no longer do the job it was designed for! What could be more important than safely carrying your personal wakeboard?
