i have an O3 polaris msx 140
and im ocd, and my grip tape is eating away at my foot channels on the ski where im throwin the board before i get off the ski.....or pullin someone else

i was thinking about making some type of clamp to grab around the rear handle that you use to get on the ski and put the board on a wakeboard rack..........so it would end up looking kinda like a cheap civic with a giant wing on the rear but its a wakeskate .....

has anyone else made something with great sucess?
or should i just get over it because i was too cheap to buy a wake?

POPTART, i know kids with the wake editions who don't even use the racks cuz they are flimsy and fall off on turns

I were going to do the same thing.....But we figured if we put it there then how would get back on the ski.....Ill sell you a really crappy board rack though, where if you get long enough screws you can attach it like I think you want to attach it...... Send me a pic of the back your ski and Ill send you a pic of the rack. Just lookin to get 40 bucks and shipping for it.

Sorry It took so long.....Its a little mildewed, but it comes right off with a good washing. Super cheap and it worked for me for a while....Let me know what you think

I cleaned it! There, are you guys happy!!! LOL Mad

And it is a nice boat, and I usually am very anal about my stuff. It really wasnt as bad as it seems in the pics.
