Here is the new slider that just got built on Lake Austin.

Here is my first attempt.

Here is my second attempt

Well, after a few unsuccessful try's, I finally slide the whole length, and it has gotten easier ever since.

No pain....No gain.

Haha nice job Dpierce! Is that just wood, or did you use sheeting on top? Looks like it would be a fun rail to hit... how long is it?

It is just wood. When I hit it, I keep my Absolute in the board racks and use my buddys Parks w/o fins. It slides really good. (you should see that board now! HAHA)

We wet it down before we hit it though. At the moment we are looking for a sheeting type material to use. The slider is 60 feet not including the ramps.

Thanks man, i still have a nice bruise on my leg. That second pic were I am crashing in the water, its only like 2 feet deep Shocked

...needless to say, I had a lot of sand in my ass! LOL

Haha that's awesome... get some sheeting for the top - once you get that covered it'll be sick. Honestly, sliding is definitely my favorite aspect of the sport now - sooo much fun... even with slivers and sand in your crack... haha
