Hi Beaver, Do you have any pics of the skates you have made to send me.
And mabye some tips on making them? The questions above still remain.

I am in an tech ed class so I have decided to make a wakeskate.
I just don't want to make a POS skate that will fall apart the first time I hit the water with it.
Thank you and nice to meet you too.

Here's a couple picture's of the wake skate I made, it has 2 1/2" - 3 stage rocker, and has a nice concave on the top, it was a little heavy coming in around 10.5 lbs..
I used, 3/16" birch sheets, i had 3 main layers (i ahd problems finding 1/8")and then added piece's on top to make the concave and then sanded and sanded and sanded to get hte concave just right.
It's not to bad building your own, jsut make sure you take your time and not rush it.
If you need any tips or pointers on building a board fire me a email i've built a couple.

Cheers
Paul
