If you are just below the wake (where you should be) there is enough sag
in the rope to clear the nose. The major disadvantage of low tow with a
CG hook is that if you let the rope get too slack (as may happen if you
encounter turbulence), it makes a loop underneath the glider and the
back release will do its thing...
