the rail cost around $850 canadian...the trex was about $550. were hopefully gonna build a flat bar in the next week...will post pics of that also. After Rock the Wake in Haliburton this July Evan Park got me into wakeskating. here's a bail from a 2 weeks ago

here's a top view of the rail the trex (composite decking) works amazing. It's expensive but super durable and slides smooth.

jake heney, thanks bro. did you have to special order it from home depot?

jake heney · Posted: Sep 02, 2006 2:58 pm Post subject:

We didn't have to special order...Home Depot didn't have it in stock so we just went to Rona. They had tons. It's sweet because if the rail is a bit c'ish it'll straighten it right out.

whats under the trex? 2x12's?

jake heney · Posted: Sep 02, 2006 3:12 pm Post subject:

the other sweet thing about the trex is that it bends really easily, and is not brittle like other composites. for building rainbows or c boxes I think it'll work awesome. Last night I got a front lip over the whole thing and a 50-50 on the up flat to backside tail slide on the down flat down. gonna hopefully try continuous 3's over it next time were out. Will post more pics as they come! yes we used 2x12s under the trex. and 2x6s along the sides.
