maybe another dumb question by me but i was pulling some people yesterday and really felt that my skylon was bending a little to much. has anyone else seen this happen and get at worried about it? by the way does anyone pull tubes with the rope hooked on to your skylon. thanks for the help

what does the yellow sticker on the skylon say with regards to tubing or skiing?

Back in the day when we had a skylon on a 94' mastercraft prostar 205 the skylon would loosen the pylon mounts after while of use. We had to tighten the pylon mounting bolts about once a month. The actual sylon wouldn't bend but it would shift at the base.

well the yellow sticker that comes on the ECI SKYLON brand poles says not to pull skiers, tubers, etc, mainly because the poles are not designed for a side load. I used to have a skylon brand pole.

Mine bends left a little, but some say they like it that way?

If your lucky, it bends upward and hits
the sweetspot everytime!
