Hey everyone,
My mates and I are trying to build a slider for kitesurfing and we just would like to know what other people, who have made them have come up with, what they look like and the dimensions they have used :)
So if anyone has old plans or ideas for sliders please post! :)
Any pictures of sliders that have worked well and that wouldn't be costing over $400 would be brilliant!
Thanks in advance, much appreciated!!

My opinion is just get something that fits in/on your vehicle in some way and it not too heavy otherwise it gets used a couple of times then rots aways cos after a session everyone pisses off and leaves you to dismantle it (yes i am bitter lol)

If you use pvc then reinforce it otherwise it will snap and impale you...Glue it to half coppers logs is ideal....

Hey Unique,
Consider going to the 'dump shop' (the council here has a section near the dump where you can buy other peoples rubbish very cheap). I once bought about 30 metres of 'blue brute' (heavy duty plastic pipe) for $50. The same stuff new would be many hundreds of dollars.
