hey heres an idea, buy one! or go to ur "lake house" and get ur skate, im sure u can afford the gas is u and ur family own more than one house. also plywood is to flexible unless u buy a f ckin thick piece and make u own dimensins. also remember to wear safety goggle when using tools and saws are sharp becareful.

3/4" plywood is plenty strong. cut it to whatever size you want and use pvc pipe 4" or larger.

wat bout the safety tips? i was thoughtful on that. onthewater, which way did u run the grain cause that would make or brake it i thnk. nice job tho. also is that one big a ss grip tape piece?

The grain goes the length of the board, plenty strong. It has held a 200lb guy with no flex. I didn't use any safety tips/stops (love to see my buddies eat the floor). Yes that is one big a$$ piece of grip tape.
