Yes, the tower will help and the V-Ride wake will definitely help to pop you up in the air. You will still have to learn good technique, but don't we all. The wake will be very big for first timers, even with no ballast. Just slow the boat down so the wake washes out and you can get anyone up and riding easily. We've gotten tons of noobs up for the first time behind the boat. Since you are buying a wakeboat, you won't be a beginner for very long. The V-Ride will not only be a beginner boat for you, but will satisfy pros as well. Add just some weight (ballast or people) and the wake is very firm, rampy, and as big as the best will ever need. Anything that indicates that the boat is for beginners is purely in Malbu advertising, which wants you to upgrade to a 247 or some other more expensive and bigger boat. The V-Ride is one of the best pure wakeboarding boats you can get anywhere. (Message edited by jpk on September 05, 2006)
