SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 February 9, 2004 setting up a PST-type diamond would be smart if you ever plan on hosting an event, but the new pond at Z-hills is nice as well. At any rate, here is what I consider to be "worth building" nowadays: -200 feet long minimum -30 feet wide minimum so that you can get some semblance of carve course set up -2.5 to 3 feet deep so that you don't soak your rig if you chow "on your feet."

Lee03 0 #5 February 9, 2004 There is a really nice Swoop Pond at ASC. Why don't you contact them, and ask them these questions. They could give you the answers that you seek.-------- To put your life in danger from time to time ... breeds a saneness in dealing with day-to-day trivialities. --Nevil Shute, Slide Rule Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
