Don't worry dude, gonna bolt them in good and tight, have experienced failure first hand :lol: and plus it doesn't have to be a totally permanent thing, it's just something to hit until it falls apart or we come up with a better solution. The actual frame itself is nice and strong so I'm confident it will work, might even back the hdpe/pvc/whatever with plywood just so the slats don't have too much stress on them

Kickerpic:

I was thinking of building a kicker out of 75 mm drainpipes. This will make it very light weight, and easy to asseble and take down.

I Wasn't able to make a curve i google scetchup, but its supposed to curve at the end. I think the curve can be adjusted by changing the length of the red supports.

Does anyone believe this will work?
Are drainpipes ok for a kickersurface?

thats sounds sick, if you can get a truck to your launch

I thought about building a little park on a catamaran, would also be fairly easy to move around, just gotta convince someone to try it.

I was looking for a cheap pontoon boat for a while to make into a funbox, then I remembered I don't have any money. The guys in Islamorada had one in their video, it looks sick, dammit...

Down pipes wont be strong enuff. May as well copy the scoop kicker and use smaller diameter pipe and it will be much stronger and last alot longer.

Got boat ramps near our spots or just drive it straight up the beach. Most boat trailers are as light as fuck. So I figure it wouldn't be that hard to float em.

thats exactly what i was thinking, and it looks like it would be hard to fit another element on there, but damn! that thing is PERFECT!!!

What sliding material is that? looks expensive as shit.
