Two Towers are a type of wakepark characterized by a towed system arranged in a straight line, allowing one rider at a time to ski for the entire run. Runs generally last between 15 and 20 minutes, and the athlete has a more direct relationship with the driver, who can offer advice and help them improve. In fact, Two Towers is also used to teach wakeboarding beginners as well as for intensive training at high levels.

Unlike the Full Size Cable, these Two Towers systems have a single hook on the cable with a balance bar anchored to it. In this case the system does not continue continuously but is driven by a driver who sets the direction and speed of the ride. When a rider falls, the driver stops the hook and recovers it to start it again from the water and continue the run.

The towing speed is approximately 28-30 km/h, but the driver can regulate it and possibly decrease it.
