Hey guys,

A couple of months ago I finished up my first homemade wakeskate. But I am just now getting the pictures up. Here ya go.

Thoughts?

Im gonna try to build another one in the coming weeks using 1/8" wood instead of the 1/4" I used in this one. And does anyone know where I can pick up some foam top? I've seached all over the forum for the Gator Grip link but can't find it. Have a great day guys.

austinross, It looks nice. Have you ridden it, does it flex?

Nice board.

It does flex a bit, but its not too bad. I actually stuck it on my Indo board roller yesterday and it did pretty well. The one I am working on now will have more layers and hopefully be stronger.

I am not sure what you mean by layout, but I will give it a shot. The board is constructed of 1/4" type of plywood, which was fairly cheap at Home Depot. Held together by Pro Bond (wood glue). I've forgotten what I used to seal it, but I'm going to need to find out anyway for my new one.

I've got pictures of the press up now on the website. The board in it is my second wakeskate.
