How to make your own Indo Board

[chpthril]

Well, got around to making my Indo Board. Started w/ a piece of scrap 6" PVC. Used a piece of 3/4 plywood I had in the shop. Bevelled the edges and sanded the whole thing. Stuck on a couple of strips of non-skid from Lowes. Put on a few coats of poly....done

Non-skid from Lowes.....$9.95
Scrap PVC from construction site.......5 to 10 in minimum security
left over plywood........still need to finish up that project
polyurethane.......wasted money on water based
watching the wife bust her a$$ on this thing......PRICELESS

I made my own as well. I used 4" PVC cut to 18" long. I also filled it with sand to give it some rolling resistance. I had an old skateboard I bought off of ebay that I use. Works really well.

Put my son on it before he went snowboarding, over spring break. Decreased his learning curve, dramatically. Now to get him on a wakeboard.

You bought it???

No, just pointing out the size of a store bought one. Mine is a little longer but not as wide. All in all, less sq"'s

very good guide to making your own indo-board, including dimension!

The following guide is pretty good!
It has the correct dimensions of the indo board too, including some cool youtube videos on some cutting techniques. I recommend you take a look!

Here is mine. Works great! I copied an older shred stixx custom and some old traction. I have a 4" pipe and a 6" inch.

I can spin on it and do little jumps. Nothing to fancy yet. I love watching people eat **** on it though!

Those are some pretty slick set ups. We used to use the ol' two liter bottle and skate deck back in the day when I skated all the time, probably even before the bongo board. If you are trying to truly replicate skateboarding there is no substitute for the bottle and deck, but you will pop it over time. It will be messy when it does. If you do the bottle the cap is a week spot if you are doing pop shuv its or something that requires air and land on the cap. Also watch the windows as the board can quickly become a rocket!
