|
|
well i got tired of having to always sit on my wakeskate when riding around or pulling someone that used a different wakeskate or wakeboard or w/e and i have a honda so i dont have the sea-doo wakeboard rack option so i decided to make my own. it cost me a whole 20 bucks. it works perfectly fine for how cheapy it is. and i know it looks crappy but i have to get new rope and finish padding the holders. here it is:
tell me what ya think. |

looks pretty sick. but wouldnt there be a lot of wind drag from having the board up like that instead of putting it lengthwise? _________________ www.levelthirtn.com |

Maybe he is an engineer and he wanted it like that to sink the back and kick out a bigger wake... if someone else is riding. |

| andrew, i thought bout that and thats why i put the board facing backwards, so the wind drag will slide right over the smooth underside surface and plus the curvature of the board with its U shape or what it will let the wind slide right over it, it would cause alot of wind drag with the grip tape facing me because it isnt smooth and it would like scoop it and catch it all, if that makes since, because the U shape of the board would be facing the wind, as opposed to how i have it where it will be deflecting it to the sides and over the top of it. plus when i get going i give it some slack and it slants back a little makin it easier for the wind to flow over. |
