Putting '05 Cassettes to Good Use

One broken Hampson Bi-Level + some free time = one of a kind wakeskate bench.

(sorry for the somewhat blurry pictures)

The frame is painted with a textured, sand colored paint, it actually almost looks like fiberon if it were tan, kind of keeping with the wakeskate theme I guess. I was going to use the original hardware to mount it, but it ended up being simpler to just get screws that were somewhat similar to the original deck bolts. (I did put a fin on there for good measure though)

I still have to regrip the top deck but other than that it's pretty much finished.

That rail in the background is sick. How does it work?

freerider4, to be honest, haven't had a chance to try it yet. It's pretty basic, i needed a floatable rail for whare i live so i built it with what are basically pontoons across the length of the entire bottom (managed to score some free pipes). Not positive if it'll float that well, but i figured it was worth a shot. All it is, is pvc pipes attached to run the length of the entire rail and the ends have been capped off.
