I'm 16 making wakeskates out of my boat shed. The Materials i use are preaty cheap. The boards i make are good looking and im thinking of how much i should sell them for. So please can anyone help.

honestly i'd have to say the only way someone will buy one is if it's way cheaper than anything else out there. like 100$ shipped. have you rode one yet?

if ur looking to sell boards your gunna have to prob send some out so the community can give some feedback on them and get other people stoked. no1 is just gunna shell some random dude with 2 posts out some cash who knows if they will even get a board in return?

i'd switch it to a 3-stage or variation of one. is it flat or concave? the most important thing is, will it last or will it break/take on water after the first set?

Can you post pics of one on here? Every skate on the market (pretty much) has been ridden by someone on here and determining what it looks/rides like might give a good indication of what you could reasonably expect. Your main problem is going to be warrantying the boards. Since you are just making them yourself, I'd imagine you are not going to be willing to replace one if it breaks, so the cheaper the better. You may want to think about what the boards cost to make, then tack on somewhere between $20-$50 for your labor. Just my .02. Good luck. I've been wanting to try to make boads for a while. Just no time.
