Default Building a jump!

Hi,
Last weekend with some friends, we started building up a jump on a abandonned wood dock. Everything is set up...but we still need to fix it in the middle of the lake.

I was wondering....the jump is made out of wood panel. I could add some wax and water on it, but should I put a plastic panel also or (wet) wood is enough for a good glide on the jump?

And any tips on anchoring!!?

Thanks!

:twisted:

Fill a few 3-5 gallon buckets with concrete as your anchors. If the wood is smooth and in good condition the wax should work.

We put PVC sheet on one of ours and plastic pipes on the other...
