how do you float your kicker? our barrells dont work to well the way we got them, it gets soo messed up everytime the boat passes. cant make it solid cause the depth vaireis and it is usually deep, 12 ft or so.

Foam works good, when you hit the kicker it dosn't budge then either, its all i use now...gives you the extra air time...

what kind of foam? the spray kind?
ours is very rigid, it wont give. im sure it could stand a bmx bike.

You can buy foam billets. I bought two for my slider and they work great. The only problem is that they are more expensive then the barrels but they work way better and I think are easier to build around.

its basically just a block of foam. You can buy them in alldiffrent sizes, I bought one 2 feet wide 8 feet wide and 1 foot thick, which worked great. They are kind of expensive but they are way easier to build around. Hope this helps, good luck!

they are kind of expensive but they're defianantly worth it. The one I bought was two feet wide and eight feet long and it cost about eighty dollars. You can probably find them cheaper though.
