Are there any sliders around Vic?

build one

yeah, but like hook said. those who really want one, build one.

i was thinking we could organize a slider day some where maybe with a winch as well i've got a few PVC pipes lying around so i could get one happening

Sounds good. Where would you do it?

unless u put it somewhere that no one else uses it will probably have to be removable (take it down for a day and take it back) other wise u will end up finding that waterways and/or water police will have taken it and u wont get it back because u didn't have permission to put it in there.
ps: it is very unlikely that u will get permission to leave it there as they say that it is a danger to the public.

Maybe something like this would work. Put a couple of benches together with some form of piping on top and maybe some stabilization on the bottom. At least they are portable.

The lads here have used two lots of hundred mm pipe joined as a top and then a 100mm pipe every few metres as a leg......pretty easy and very effective.

Second that one ....best to use the PVC pipe as airush geoff said.... super easy to make and can easily be carried or dismantled quickly. The only difficulty I have previously found is getting the thing to stay upright and still in the water.......you will find yourself constantly picking up the thing everytime a rider slides...you can build a foot (about 30cm long ) for each leg and fill it with cement ( we used rapid set ) and have this part as a separate attachment that can be attached to the leg when the slider is almost in position... being detachable means the whole thing is much easier to carry and in some locations ( mud ) you can just push the leg down without the foot......... this solved the problem when hitting it with the wakeboard and or boat wash

I think i might make one this weekend

PM me know if you need help with it. From the looks of the wind I won't be kiting and I'm also in Port Melbourne.

Spent some time playing around in Google Sketchup. Pity we can't build something like this

How come there are no Red Bull stickers on your slider Saffer?
