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

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... _________________ PAVT since '05/'06 |
