I've been working on this thing all week, and it's finally done. Haven't ridden it yet, but I will soon. What do you think? There may be too much rocker, but hey, I'm not much of a carpenter, so I couldn't be happier with the turn out.

w2w motive, dude that's crazy rocker. It's going to be super slow in the water but will probably pop like a mofo.

Is that a boomerang in the first picture? Laughing

hahaha oh wow. just got off the water. not the smoothest ride ever, i was shrouded by spray the entire time. i could barely see. the first thing i did was a quick slide, about 3 seconds into it an edge caught and i face planted. I managed a surface 3 though, but thats about all. its more of a fight to stay on than anything else. i think i have some decent picture, I'll post later.
