as long as there is enough water for splashing, you should be fine Very Happy

if you make a "starting dock", where the rider can slide into a starting-pool, then your pool can be shorter......it works.

ah, cape town.....i want to go to cape town, j-bay dreamin Shocked Very Happy

6 meters = 18 ft.?

if your starting dock can be long too, than you might be good. Once your going fast, your planing when you hit the water, so a shorter pool would be ok.

but 3 meter sticks seems pretty short, just ware a good helmet Very Happy

lake tarpon, i agree my starting pool is 50 feet and sometimes i think it is too small... an we slide out of the back of a truck kinda like what shore drive is advising which works really well...

IMO i wouldnt go less than 50 feet...
