Well Everyone. Chrishau here.
A While ago i posted pics of our home made board almost complete. Well on the weekend we finished and test rode the board. It is amazing. Its a 40.5" and 10 pounds it 15.25" wide and is amazing. W2W's are a breeze and the board is beutiful. 3 shuvs are popped. I dont have any footage yet but soon. So the Funny thing my friend Connor who is not a wakeskater and knows nothing about wakeskating picked out the same colour as the cassette 4-trac. So its a nice looking board. I just thought that was kinda funny.

Here are some pics.

Very impressive.
It must feel so good to shred on a board you made with your own hands.
Nice work.

Thanks Guys, The board is amazing. Cuts well without fins but i wish i had fins on it.
Soon time, i wanna make home made fins.
The board didnt turn out exactly like i wanted but decent for what we put togher.
