Ghetto rigged flat

Check it out, I wanns get a skate, but i dont wanna spend money on it, so i'm thinking i'm gonna buy a flat, and before I grip it, I'm going to cut small ramps for the kick tails and some longer ones to make it concave, then I'm going to use gorilla glue to attach, then water proof it, I am looking for suggestions for light material for the kick tails and concave ramps. And a good waterproofing material. any other good ides? jot 'em down. thanks.

Any ideas as to how thick to make these things? because I have no idea, I'm thinking 3/4 inch tails and 1/2 inch concave?

And on a side note, I know skate decks get all flimsy and lose pop as they get old, so wake skates do the same? if so, how long does it take?

Um, I am a person of color, and I find that ghetto comment to be very funny.

im now curious now as well... when does a wakeskate wear out???
i can understand broken or chipped, crackeed or split... but can it loose pop if the sufrace you ride on is always giving with the force?
