Sesitec System 2.0 - How to built a cable?
Wakeboard in your backyard
The System 2.0 is essentially a straight-line cable system that can compliment full size cable park setups for events or as stand-alone rail parks. But the System 2.0 can also be used for private backyard setups because it is the first cable system that is actually portable. And unlike other two tower systems, System 2.0 was designed specifically for wake sports and provides a continuous ride—meaning that you won’t have to drop the handle or stop after one pull down the rail course.
Here’s How It Works:

Two stanchions are setup using one anchor each and the overhead cables are strung between them over a lake, pool or body of water. A quiet electric motor drives the cable. The carrier pulling the rope slows at one end and reverses direction rather than passing through a pulley. This makes a big difference for a couple of reasons: When the carrier slows, the rider can edge out from the cable, basically making a wide circle to keep tension on the rope, and continue riding. The carrier is also supported by two overhead cables (as opposed to one cable running in a circle) giving riders a more consistent pull while retaining maximum cable tension. Better tension gives riders smoother rail rides and the ability to do air tricks. But the turnaround is beginner level, so anyone can easily ride System 2.0.
