Posted: Sep 09, 2004 1:19 pm Post subject: BC ghetto rail |
|
|
Been wanting to build a rail on our lake forever.Problem is the lake is so deep that 20ft offshore it's 75ft deep in a shallow spot.The lake also rises[no dam] about 6ft with the runoff in the spring so a rail secured to the bottom wasn't really possible.
So this is what we came up with
Big Cedar log-plenty of these lying around the shore of our lake=free
Couple of pieces of 4" PVC 10ft long-neighbours leftovers=free
Couple milk crates-lying around=free
Rock's in milkcrates=free
2 pieces of old train wreck for anchor's=free
200' of poly rope for anchor line=$10
It work's awesome.The log has enough float and the rocks in the milkcrate keep it from rolling.Granted it's the only wake rail I've ever hit but it works good for me.Just goes to show how much fun you can have wakeskating without a big budget.

i never have made a rail before. but when my buddy and i was wakeskating behind a sea-doo we saw a log about 20 feet long and hit it up. it was awsome. slide pretty well just being in the water for a few days.
