A water ramp!

Whats up... I was wondering if any of you guys had any blueprints, links to information, or ideas regarding the construction of water ramps. By water ramp I don't mean like a kicker or anything. What I mean, is like a tower that I would climb up, and then ride down, that ends with a 'big air' ramp. Kinda like downhill wakeboarding??? Thanks for your time!! Cool

you mean like a waterslide ending with a kicker where water flows over it so you can wakeboard on it? one question....why?
if thats what your lookin for go to an amusement park and sneak a board or skate in and go down it. see how long it takes till you get caught.

I don't know why anyone would want to do this, but go by some wood and some vinal bothroom flooring from lowes. Just design your own structure

Hahaha the reason I want todo this is becasue there is NO cable park here... and also, no one else rides where I am from, and people get annoyed with me always askin them to come out and pull me around hahahaha! I just want something I can hook up at the cabin and hit whenever I'm bored!

there used to be a olympic snow skier who lived on lake washington and had an arial jump made out of plastic where he would land in the water. that is just asking for injury on a wakeboard.

if you could build such a thing how would you land? you would need to land on a decline so you dont just stop when you hit. if you land on your feet on a wakeboard on water it would probably wreck your knees pretty quick.
