For my first slider I put two 1.5" PVC pipe side by side with a little space in the middle and it worked great.

I would say 2 2" side by side...maybe a tiny bit of space in between so you could 50 50 with fins in.

Drewy_Ramone, fins rarely get in the way when sliding.

Ctipping, what about doing a nosepress or somethin like that with a fin that will snag on the surface...i have 1.2" or so A-wing fins.

ohio_wake_2008, well A wings are different. Those thinks are practically steak knives on the end of a wakeboard. A rider I know popped a rave slider with those dumb hyperlite fins.

Cut a 1 piece of 4" PVC in half on one side only and put it on, less money, and more effective.

LFADAM,
Hahaha Ever see those dumb "launch pod" trampolines with the little inflatable slide on the side? One of the guys I ride tried using one as a kicker with his Parks board, when he was done the thing had two nice, parallel slits about two feet long going up it! But yeah those freaking Hyperlite a wings can also butcher your upholstery too, the same guy put a sweet gash in the sundeck of our 05 VLX. I now encourage everyone in the world to trade their HY's in for LF's.
