rail Problem

Hey guys, this weekend I built a really good floating rail. I built it 8 feet long (first rail), I used 1 1/4 inch pvc and after 5 hits, the layers of wood on my skate are peeling. I think because it's too sticky. What would help make it more slippery so I'm not ruining my skates.

if u have an 8ft rail. trex comes in 16ft peices. so u could do it 2 boards wide. and would only cost about 30 dollars.

my friend and i stole a bunch of wood from a building house site once and we needed something to put on top and we found this roll of like really slippery paper stuff at the site. we didnt know what it was put it was really slippery. unfortunatly we didnt get a chance to use it because his dad was PISSED that we used his tools and we had to take it apart...

where do you get bend-a-board? lol and this might be a dumb question but would i be able to make an arch-like rail (hence the bend part)?
