Wakeboarding is fun activity to engage in out on the water, and like many sports enthusiasts interested in an upgrade it is important to understand what options are available for your boat and how they may be tailored to individual taste. There are many options available through niche manufacturers, all of which benefit the wakeboarder in some way. The ability to evaluate your personal needs are as important as understanding the engineering nuances as well as the styling each accessory will lend to your application. Niche manufacturers like Big Air, Inc. for example offer the following accessories for your boat:
Wakeboard towers
Pylons
Biminis
Wakeboard racks
Speakers
Mirrors
Light bars
Parts and clothing
Wakeboard Towers
Wakeboard towers enable wakeboarders to get big air off of the wake due to the high tie-off point. These towers are not only functional, but they are also aesthetically pleasing as well. They can also be equipped with speakers and racks, which is also helpful in maximizing the space of a boat. These towers can be made of either aluminum or stainless steel. Wakeboard towers by Big Air for example come in the following styles:
Stainless steel
Fusion Tower
Beast Tower
H2O Tower
Aluminum
X Tower
Cuda Tower
Wave Tower
Vapor Tower
Storm Tower
Ice Tower
Pylons
Pylons are similar to the wakeboard tower as they also elevate the tie-off point for the purpose of giving the wakeboarder additional hang time. When the tie-off point is low, it effectively pulls the wakeboarder down and limits the amount of time that the rider is in the air. This also results in limiting the types of tricks that are performed, so the amount a wakeboarder can progress is directly linked to the height of the tie-off point. The pylons offered by Big Air, Inc. are seven feet in height and come in two different styles, including:
Universal Pylons

Wakeboard Racks
Wakeboard racks are also a great addition. These racks save a great deal of space and can hold different types of boards and skis, enabling users to have a wealth of options available to them while they are out on the water. Added space on the boat means that more people can join in on the fun without having to sacrifice comfort. Wakeboard Racks by Big Air, Inc. come fully polished or with a black powder coat, include billet aluminum construction, have rubber lining in all the forks and include bungee straps.
