Hi I'm new to the forum and kayaking. Just purchased my first kayak to take a trip to Florida. (An Ascend FST12) I have been saltwater fly fishing for about 10 yrs. I have a question about the X-tower. Can a lone kayaker step up on the platform or does it require a paddler beneath to counter balance?

Thanks for any replies.

The Xtower actually never went into production.

I would say that with some custom fabrication you could make one easy enough to get on and pushpole yourself. Or take a look at the Stand and Fish system.

I can't wait to see someone get ripped off the top of one of these by a 40# yt.

Maybe climb up there spot, cast then jump down for stability?
