i want to build an above ground wakeskate pool with rail in the middle and another pool on the other side but i have a few questions. does anyone have any plans for this? can this work, is it a good idea? how would i get started, should i just run and acid drop in and then let the rope pull me or what? i wan to do this but im not sure if it can work so any advice would be appreciated.

sorry if it sounds crazy but we put a small upramp at the begging, cause the water would get so low, it was like 4 ft long, and not a steep angle...
