Building a water ramp

[snowdiver]

my friends and i are planning on building a water ramp into a lake by our houses and weve got almosty everything figured out.

the one thing we dont know is how to make our ramp have more of a lip (curve like a real jump) instead of just coming to a point like a triangle

look up halfpipe plans and build the transistion using the same technique. its hard to get into detail and explain it properly in words.

some times its off and they dont really make a difference. good idea thow. i think im gonna put some astro turf in front of this 30 foot cliff and ski of it into the water. probably wont be able to do much but it will be good fun!!

theres still one problem how do you get the wood to curve like that though.

Is it a couple sheets of plywood cut like that?

 

[mattyb.]

your not actually bending it your just cutting a flat piece of wood in a curve shape, then standing it upright
