Wakeboard rack to Surf board rack
I took off my racks for winter storage and thought how could I convert my wakeboard rack into a surf board rack, (by removing the centre bracket). So I first went to my local machinist and he suggested try down the street at the granite place they have a water jet cutter, $30 bucks later and a little bite of time re-installing the rubber and there ya have it. Money is a little tight at the end of boating season so this will work for a season or two.

Nice! I'd be curious what they'd charge to build a set, mimicking the ones you bring in...
So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

Nice, I plan to do this this winter as well and I am going to try and grove the slot for the rubber where the old finger was.

our local skiers dealer had some surf tines made a year ago or so. they retailed for $200, so guessing that cost was somewhere around $100 or so. they just replaced the wakeboard tines. looked factory.

Does anyone know if having a water jet cut off a tine on a powdercoated rack would distort the paint all over the area of the cut? Or would it come out looking clean like T100's?

I was thinking about doing the same thing last night. Great idea!
