ok this won't last for more hten like a week but you should just make one out of ply!

I got two pieces of 3 ply and some wood glue, put them together and then clamped the 2 bits to another thick piece of ply and stuck a big bit of 2x2" in the middle - this gave me th ebend and then i just let it set.
the next day i unlmaped my new bit of laminated ply which ha d anice rocker on it (ok it was way to bent!) i then just grip-taped it and drilled some hole sthru for some fins, i just used old lttle 1.25"'s on each end.

Viola! a wakeskate! at least it will give you an idea and then if you like your new board which cost about £10 go out and buy a proper one (that won't come apart after 3 pulls and float away :wink: )

you can get the 2003 hyperlite scapes from princes for £95 with the foamy grip tape (nice and easy on your feet). I got one and i love it realy loose and responsive - great fun for the end of the day to messa around on

Good work tower boy, cheers for the advice. Moving house and I have a coffee table that looks like it could have a nice roker with a bit of trimming, so i'll let you know.
Otherwise the Visa could be coming out for an end of season ride..... :?

Yes Yes, I am indeed from Hove . I only discovered the club last week, so havent had a chance to get out with them, but hopefully will soon. But soundz like a good setup. I have recently moved up here from cornwall, and had been missing riding regulary Where do you get out round ere?!?! as I c'ant imagine that the English stinking Channel is flat that often!
