    spend the money you will use making one, on gas instead and drive to the ocean and jump some waves, nothing provides a better solution to MASSIVE air.

      depending on how well you wanna build it you can spend 30- in the hundreds. i spent under 100 on this one and 40 on the first 2

        I think he's talking about a jump. We used to go jump up old dock that had started to sink on one side. I wouldn't jump anything with a nice hull because it scraped the bottom up pretty bad. One of my neighbors has a floating wakeboarding jump that I've hit before and it was kinda fun, but it was to steep and short. It was more fun just sliding across docks.

            A ramp jump will fvck your ski up. Dont do it unless you want to be swapping hulls and doing glasswork often. Don't fall either...it's going to hurt.

              x2 As I said, I wouldn't use a hull I cared at all about. The hull I used to slide over the old docks last summer is trashed now.

                    Anyone ever thought about using rollers? Like the rollers for a manufacturing plant. They allow a product to roll freely to the next station....

                    Why not use the roller in the ramp to keep the bottom of the ski from scraping and scratching the hell out of a good paint job... I actually drew this up on AutoDesk Inventor by AutoCAD but clearly do not have the time or the fund to create such a ramp.

                    Work Hard, Play Harder.

                      no no rollers

                      you just need to cover it in a sheet of polyethylene sheeting with counter sunk screws it wont **** your hull up much at all after that

                            lol, the graphics were removed because they were all messed up, and faded. i was going to repaint and put the same graphic or no graphics on, but my brother traded the hull for a wetjet.
