Hey guys.. I come from Switzerland (I apologize if my english's bad) and I planned to build a slider this summer that I can put in and out the lake next to my house..
I made a 3D plan to see how it will be but I need your opinion..

Do you think that it's possible to ride a slider like this one ? Is the slope to go on the top not too hard ? Does it look to be stable ?

the dimensions are approximately :
10 meters long (separate in 2 5m parts)
1m50 high
1m80 wide

here are some pics :







And a last one to help you represent the dimensions (a square = 50cm)



ps : I'll use this slider for wakeboarding and kitesurfing..

Thanks for your opinion
Yannick

it's really too abrupt... it wont be fun to hit and it will be very sketchy... it should be 15 degrees max of inclinasion

In those drawings it's hard to tell the exact dimensions. It looks really tall (like over 2m) but I'm not sure what 1m50 means. At 10m long I wouldn't go higher than 1m. That would make it 29 degrees which is pretty steep. If you wanted to lengthen it you could go higher.
