Here is my first kicker with transition. The other one I have been riding for a few years now is just straight. Does this new one have too much slope at the end?

Also, I am going to replace the top of my slider which was previously PVC piping. I am thinking "trex" but I cannot find it up here in Ontario. Home depot says that "lifelong" is the same kind of composite decking just a different brand name.

My slider is made up of 8 foot floating sections, which I link together on hte water. My question is does anybody have any ideas on how to join the top peices smoothly?

Here are pictures of the rail with the PVC top (keep in mind that these are only the first two sections, last year I made a third flat section to go after these two and this year I making a fourth section)

There is also pictures of my old straight kicker.

That kicker is really steep. I had on just like it. Front flip city. The easy fix was this for me.[/img]

Hmoe Depot does not sell trex. Me and my bro got ours from home hardware i believe it was. Don't be surprised when you see the bill though. 3 16 foot pieces came to over $200. Basically it will double the cost of your slider. It has for us twice now. But you can't beat the stuff.
