My old wakeboard. Into my NEW wakeskate. possible?

[kweb41]

So im sitting in my room playing Tiger Woods PGA tour, and i look over at my old wakeboard, and think, if i put some grip tape on thier it could be a wakeskate. So ive decided that will be my next project.

i think im gona cut down the nose and tail, then round it off, and see how that works.

let me know if you have ever tried this or not.
thankyou

It's about as effective as trying to make a skateboard out of an old surfboard.

che blanc, wayyy more fun. i wish more people around me still rode their old cutdown wakeboards.

[kweb41]

Mr. Top Hat, thats exaclty what i was thinking. its keeping me busy during the day so thats pretty much the only reason im doing it.


but ill for sure get some pics up as its going on.

Dont do it man, Buy a skate, seriously, Like for one it will be so light and barly ridable and ur losing a wakeboard in the end. Sell ur wakebaord and buy a skate.

[kweb41]

Chrishau, i already have a skate, i was just doing this to pass the time.

but you do think it will be to light?
and does anyone else have any input on this?
like how it wont work, its greatly appreciated thankyou.

Ok the inside of the board might have support rodes. These metals parts could cause damge to your cutting device or you. Plus there might be foam and other stuff. Like Lots of fiberglas. You will have to resgin alot Keep the board from delaminating and falling apart. Plus if you dont cut it out right, you could damage the shell and cause it to crack and ripp and there goes you so called skate.

I could be completly wrong but whatever. Thats my 2 cents.

[kweb41]

Chrishau, thats true, but if thier were metal parts in the board a magnet should detect them am i right? unless thier aluminim.

but thanks for the advice man.

I'm gonna make a longboard out of a cassette flat deck I have.



Epic.

[stev-oh]

i say just glue a ton of tech decks together, and use that as a wakeskate

[righteous]

or do what i did a while back on this site.

cut out from wood the bottum of a bi level deck except make it about 2 inches bigger then a skate board deck, then screw a skateboard deck onto it ( much like bi-levels are attached) then have a rippin good time.

Cut down wakeboards work, my friend did a byerly 69 cut it made a three stage used epoxy and cut piece to add concave, cut the sides down, its a 41 and it rides fine....ill try to get some pics....sooo fun

[ImSoWakested]

from reading threads i hear that a bro with the user name APPLE followed by numbers used to used kids wakeboards griped with grip tape as skates, hes the big dude, like 6'7" he had a thread about makin his own board, and how he was tired of using cut wakeboards, so its probaboly not gonna be tat great if yo use a wakeboard, but if you know this, and still wanna do it for shits and giggles then i says hells yesss.. its hammer time

[kweb41]

mikeskatesonwater, yea dude that'd be great.

ImSoWakested, pretty muched summed it up. its all for shits and giggles.

if it works it works, if not, ohh well hopefully it will be fun.

thanks for the advice guys.



che blanc, hope that little ish works out for you.
