Go to your nearest Marine supply shop and ask for 2 seawall forms. Use 4x4's for supports.

How did you build that? I would like to know as well. And what are the sea wall forms? Is that what the top is then you just plowed 4x4s into the ground and moutned it on top or what? i am confused, but that is a sick rail and wouldnt mind trying to build one so if you could post some more detailed plans.... cause i am super confused.

TNT lives in the middle of the ocean, and his dad built sea walls for a living. they're like big concrete walls that block rollers and stuff from coming up onto your yard and flooding your house. wel they use those forms to shape it. or.. you can make your own by getting a 4x8 peice of ply wood and cut it in half, 2 2x8s and brace it all the way around like you would a skateboard using 2x4s then stick a few 4x4's in the water and bam
