Ive been running up and down the thing for weeks now. So I gues I have already hit it. We will attempt to float it this weekend. I hope we put enough foam in her.

The s.s sits perfectly , we sat it out in the breaking waves for over one hour and it sat nice and stable in the water . it floated in about 3 inches of water. Big Lochie hit it a dozen times from different angles and its all good. and echostorm the photos are on page 2 or 3 now .

Nice one! Dont know how I missed it. If you want to to last make the sides outa that plastic stuff they use to make plastic breadboard out of. They boys use it to make the ones here in the Sunny Coast out at the ski park. You can actually slide on the sides too plus it doesnt wear out ya board. Looks great though!

yeah use perspex or abs sheets to cover the wood so that it will take all the damage from the people stacking on it

Do we have to bring our own helmets to wear on the slider?
