A wakeboard slider is a device that the boarder will jump on, while being towed behind a boat, and then land back on the water. Basically, a slider is like a piece for an obstacle course. You can buy sliders, but of course you also have the option of learning how to build a wakeboard slider yourself, which is great because you can customize it and make it as easy or hard to jump as you want.

Starting

When it comes to learning how to build a wakeboard speeder, the first thing you need to do is gather the necessary materials. These materials include: plastic drums, plywood, screws, PVC cleaner, cement, PVC, PVC internal joints, and toggle bolts.

Once you have gathered all the materials for your wakeboard speeder, you must first build a basic frame that will hold the drums, one that is at least twelve and six feet long and wide respectively. Now you need to fit the drums in from all four corners, so the barrel can’t go all the way through, and then add supports for the four foot long beam. After this you need to angle clamp it to prevent dangerous movement from right to left and also to hold the plywood.

Now you just need to mount it to the PVC, join the two lengths together and attach the PVC, using standard toggle bolts. Remember that it will be most ideal if you use the bolts about four feet apart, so that the nuts are facing in the direction that the pipe runs along. Once you’ve completed this, you want to add the rear slider, and then evenly position the front section of the slider to the back, making sure there are no visible gaps.

Now you want to add the arch to the front end of the wakeboard slider so the tube dips into the water, and now you need to apply the clamps across the entire arch for support. You will then have finished making your wakeboard slider and can get out on the water and try it out for yourself. Remember that when learning how to build a wakeboard slider, if you find it too low or too high, you can always continue to work on it and adjust the levels to your specific preferences.

This not only makes it more convenient for you, but by learning how to build your own wakeboard slider, you will save yourself a great deal of money and get bragging rights.
