Funny thing is it looks to be well made traeted material, lag bolts (not screws) and a solid design but a wee bit out of character for it's enviroment... Maybe those wakeboarders could teach something to the doofs who make wooden spoilers for there litlle imports... Key : use treated lumber, use lag bolts, and box all corners for high speed rigidity...

Necesity is the mother of invention............
and poverty, of course, is the father.
Look at it this way, them kids are doing, while every one else in the same circumstance and no ingenuity is wishing.
