Hey everyone. Just wanted to share some photos of a slider that we have been working on. As you may know the SFWA is hosting a rail jam event on June 21st and 22nd in West Palm Beach at Okeeheelee Park to feature four different sliders (more info at sfwake.com ) In addition, Palm Beach County is allowing us to keep one of the sliders in Lake Okeeheelee for good (unfortunately it has to be the most mellow one, but that is good in the sense everyone from beginners to advance can have some fun on it). The progress has been good and we hope to have it in the water by next Tuesday. We are building it in such a way that we can add an extentsion on it later. But for now this is what is allowed. Three feet tall from the water,six foot wide top deck, Thirty foot length and an eight foot angled wall ride. Here are some photos. Enjoy.

yeah eventually on the flat side we will be adding an "a" frame type extension to it. We are in full build mode right now getting ready for our event.

Besides this one we are building an kicker, an "a" frame, and a straight incline bar type thing (best way to describe it sorry). Pretty stoked about it.

Just wanted to add some new photos, we beefed up the interior and finished the plywood. PVC goes on tomorrow and in the water within a few days. Check out www.sfwake.com for greater details if you want.

Please video the launch.

No problem, on videoing the launch. We have an idea on how to move it the last 50feet. I will let you know how it goes. The pvc is on it now we are just waiting for the permit to install it in the lake. I will post some more photos this weekend.
