After months of talking about building a rail, my friends and I finally got off our asses and put together a 16ft flat rail and put it on our lake. I had never really hit a flat rail before because ive never had the opportunity to ride on a lake with one. Ive only hit rails at odub and a few other half rainbows and picnic benches here and there. The first couple hits on the flat rail were weird at first but i got it down after a few hits. Even landed a front board shuv out 2nd try. All in all it was a sweet day and I found that flat rails are a hell of a lot more fun because theres alot more skateboard influence with them and if anyone has tips for lipslides I could use some because i went for one today and almost tackled the rail with my face.

Also just wondering how many of you guys have rails at your lakes and if so what kinds.

My frind and I built a flat rail, at the beginning of the summer and it was sweeeet, but then the hurricanes came and i wasnt able to get it out, anyways i can definitly see where ur comin from, i loved being able to have so many options with it to make every hit different
