how big is your board? Length, width in the middle, widths at the ends and anything else i might need while making a board.(i would also like to know the slope of the board is from the middle to the back edges, not the rocker but the other thing) i would also like to know how big you are in porpotion to your board. I'm 170 lbs and 6', and im making a board for a 250 6'4 fatass brother.


my first board attempt worked, but it was super skinny and the edging and control were at a minimum, any tips would be nice, i am planning on cutting and bending tommorow with or without tips, but tips would be much appreciated.

Here he is!

I am a big guy 2m(6"7') and 155kg(350lbs) with shoe size 16US I wasn't able to ride normal boards the proper way....but now with my: 120cm(47") 45cm(17,7") wide with 35cm(13,8") tails homemade it is riding like any other....

Although I think that might be big enough for you and your brother together! It is a continuous rocker about 2.5".

check out this post aswell! I think you are referring to the outline of the board....look at the New Wakeskates site for inpiration...the also build a Bigfoot 43" that should be big enough for your brother
