Abstract:
A towing device for towing a water sporter as part of a watersporting activity. An elongate towing member is collapsibly stowed within a storage housing secured to the bottom of a watercraft. The storage housing extends upwardly from the bottom of the boat in a nominally vertical direction. The towing member remains in an unextended orientation to operate as a pylon towing device. If additional height of the pylon is desired, the towing member is selectively extended in length to an elevated height and thereby operates as a elevated pylon. The extended pylon, or elevated pylon, can be shifted to a lateral, sideways extending position so that it terminates in a distal end reaching across the side of the watercraft in a cantilevered orientation for use as a boom tow.
