Sand Skis

I recently have been doing a lot of sandboarding, and a friend and I have decided to make some quality sand skis, including painted top sheets, Formica top sheets, and bindings that would cost us around 50 bucks a set. I would consider making more if NS wanted to buy some. Each pair would be completely hand made and original.

So, the big question is, how many NS'ers would consider buying a set of these for around 100 to 150 for a pair, if we could make some nice ones?

I used to do this back in the day whenever my family would go to my grandmothers house. And then the whole family would go to church together, but my grandma would sneak me away from the rest of the family. We would just bone each other in her civic and never tell the rest of the family. But one day I was fuckin her so hard that her back broke, so i take her to the hospital and the doctors wheel away my naked grandma with a broken back, covered in the blueberry yogurt that we were using for lube. good times with sand skis!

im his "business partner" anyways almost done shaping this pair.
i can adjust stiffness, length and shape. they are made with expensive wood laminate and i can stain it any color as well as do pretty much anything for the design. for a more detailed design like in the paintings behind it will cost more but for what you see should be around 100

What kind of a press setup do you guys have? In the midst of working on my full I-Beam ski press to build my own boards for this season, about a grand or so and forty or so house of labor into it and loving it. If you guy's have any questions on press frames or vacuum bags or even ski shape and design, head over to my built thread, even though its sand and grass, its all relevant.
