What is the best way to build a rail in shallow water? I was thinking a flat rail maybe 10-15 feet long.
Any insight would be awesome. Thanks. |

I am building a floating box and i want it to be like the box at OWC. I was wondering if anybody had the specs on it. Also a material list or whatever would be great! _________________ 985 |

nick great lakes represent !!
AlexXx hdpe, i get free scraps from my job executing wakestock
yookyle ya theres not many of us
pretty much kiteboarding is pretty gay, some call us the rollerbladers of the ocean (surfers mainly), but as far as skating is concerned, its got two advantages - ya can do it alone, and you can try a trick like 60 times in an hour. if a legit skater got into kiting, they would prolly take over the kite world - no money in kiting right now though.
vid of our first skate hits with kite, warning some bad hits - haha

this is gonna be where our new rail park is this year, its about a mile offshore on a island. cool thing is you can run a boat,winch or kite.

Chenzo, Waterskiiers are definitely the rollerbladers of the water, and stand-up paddleboarders are the kooks of the decade Kiteboarding is sick... _________________ √ |

It's worked out real good for me. i made a second one and instead of putting trex's on it I sprayed bedliner on the whole thing.
the legs are from the chain link fence section at home de pot 20 bucks for a 20' foot section I think. _________________ "Confucius say, man who stand on toilet high on pot" |
