buying a rail

I put this in the rail section, but no one looks in there , so anyways:

Ive tried building a couple of rails (unsuccessfully), and i was wondering if anybody in the south east, like alabama (preferably), flordia, georgia, mississippi, tennessee, and maybe a couple other states, have any rails they wanted to sell.

gregg, did you ever stop and wonder why nobody has posted on your thread? there is a SLIGHT possiblity that nobody is interested in selling a rail...

If you cant build a rail, then you probably shouldnt be hitting them.

regarding that sig,
I bet you would spend $600 on a brand new balsa wood, dna type honeycomb pos parks board though right

RUSSIAN, whos signature are you referring to?

I think RUSSIAN is referring to Parky's sig Razz

Anyways about that rail... You should try to build one. It doesn't look that hard to do man...

Just build the module with wood or whatever and then just find a way to make it float Very Happy

RUSSIAN, about building the rail, i am barley at the lake where i ride, so, i try to go wakeskating/boarding as much as i can when i am there. This leaves no time to build a rail.

about the sig, its just a joke cuz the first time i saw the price thats just wha i thought, before i actually knew anything abou the board

and no, i would not drop $600 dollars for a wakeboard, not even 400 for that matter

Nekki: I feel sorry for anyone who's on dialup, your sig is 1.5 megabytes lol

About building a rail: why not build one at home, in sections, and then put it togetehr at the lake/whatever. I watched some dudes build some at the big block party. they were using plastic deck boards, and 2x4/4x6's for the braces.

Im sure if you look at enough pics of rails you could figure something out.

EYEAREQUE, that would maybe work, except i live about 700 miles (no exaggeration) from where i ride (dont ask), thanks for the idea though.

play nice kids.

anyway--700 miles from where you ride? fu*k thats a long distance relationship if i ever heard one. I start to loose it if i dont go out on the water at least once a week. i couldnt imagine living 700 miles from where i go riding.

Maybe he keeps his boat in alabama...
rails /kickers are really easy to build.You can get 2b y 4s and make like a work horse like you see at construction sites with pvc or decking on the top.Or with 2 by 4s you can make a frame like like an H styro foam tied on the bottom with pvc or whatever on the top.Thats how I made my kicker . You can slide anything.Throw a fileing cabnet in the water .Then you can lower / higher it by moving it deeper / shalower in the water. Just think man. Where you ride in bama im across the bay from Mobile?
