Surf Platform DIY

[Poison]

I just made a similar mod, but I went the HPDE route. Used 1 inch HDPE and the template that 5:00 sent me (I think he said he traced a Craz platform) except I increased the size by 10%. Glued on some B-grade hydroturf. It just finished drying so hopefully I'll get some surf pics this weekend. I had the template printed at FedEx/Kinkos, traced it on the HPDE, cut it with a jigsaw, and had a buddy use a router to bullnose the edges. Original brackets. I think it turned out pretty well. I would have rather had black but it was cost prohibitive...the plastic shop only had white and shipping is killer on these.

It does have some flex to it if I stand on the edge...there just isn't any support from the brackets that far out. I may trim it back a little or try to screw in a piece of square tube. I don't like that diving board feeling but I don't think it will break.

Here it the comparison to the old deck.
