Low tow fans note: You cannot fly low tow until the towplane is some
subtantial distance from the ground.


Why not? Simply stay in ground effect and let the tow plane climb out first.



So where do you think you are relative to the wake when you are in
ground effect????

You are either in it(undesirable) or just above. Either way you end up
flying in the turbulent wake close to the ground. To fly in low tow
the towplane has to be high enough for you to be under the wake
without hitting the ground.
