not a sleigh! but hope to be using it in a few days( hope it works) its a resin coating, so i hope it hold up when i'm riding it. its plywood pressed in a jig to get the shape, and the blue is a wood stain called ocean blue, the gel coat is resin, so i found a place in the basement, and put a portable heater there to get it up to 74 dgrs to cure the resin, my next board will be made out of fiberglass, but have exactly the same shape,

nothing to do with the snow, most snow skates have metal edges and i would never know how to attach those

i might try to use it as a wakeskate this summer, that would make it multi-functional

yes, flowrider here i come,
mobster, have you been on them? around here they ride without straps(not very good) but if you have tried the fiberglass boards, they are awesome! and better performing boards, i was going to buy one, when someone sanded down a wakeskate to the flowrider shape and it appears to work just as good, and much more durable, and i said "i can make that"
wish me luck

Was just at Kalahari with the kids this past weekend. THey opened double the size park. 2 flo riders, adult jacuzzi indoor/outdoor swim up bar. Kids stayed at the wave pool all day. We go about 6 times a year. fun fun. Kids love to boogieboard, surfing doesn't feel natural, but it's probably the special board they use not to hurt the machine. If you are in the area, go mid-week as weekends get busy, and cheaper to boot.
