So far I have been using the Ski locker which works, but it is getting pretty crowded with 4 skis and a wakeboard. I would like to buy a tower rack that could hold skis, wakeboards and maybe also a wake surfing board. Does anyone make a rack that can hold skis, wakeboards and wake surf boards? If not I guess a rack that could hold just the skis would free up plenty of space in the locker for the remaining items.

I reviewed the threads on racks and it appears some of the aftermarket racks will not position properly on the Yamahas towers. I would be willing to spend the extra cash for a Yamaha rack if they are worth it. What do you guys think?

If anyone has a picture of their rack on a similar boat to post I would appreciate it.

Thanks.
 
I just went through this search last night after finding that my Monster wakeboard rack doesn't fit my new surfboard... so ordered another Monster rack with swivel for wakeboard and a surfboard. Not cheap, but after looking through all the reviews of the knock off ones I decided to just bite the bullet. I ordered the 2.5" clamp for my 2020 tower. Skis are a bit more difficult, rack-wise, as they need their own device due to length.
 
Another thought is that the bungee retention on most wakeboard style racks will damage wakesurf boards. Get a vertical or one that uses a clamp system to hold the boards down.
