| Depends on your press, does it have a decent rocker shape?

| sorry to say but the rocker on that press looks terrible to me. how did you get that curve? if you want a decent rocker your best bet is to trace it from the wakeskate you like the best. average length of skates are usually 38-42" long and around 15" inches wide in the middle. as far as what you need to make a decent home made skate do a search on the forum there are a couple of detailed threads on the process. i've made 3 decks so far using the same construction process with great results. if you have any specific questions i can help you out.

| use hardwood veneers such as birch, maple, oak, etc... clear coat or epoxy for a glossy finish, just make sure its good and sealed.
