board sucker

Post by downwind dave »

i built a crude board sucker this weekend if anyone needs to borrow it no worries, just PM me - im thinking it can be a community resource. it has a vac gauge and some safety holes in the tubing so it "probably!!" wont implode your board. :P

edit- summer 08 i added an automatic cut-off switch so you can leave it running and it wont pull more than 4-7 hgs or whatever you set it for.

nice work Dave- very inventive McGyver... but ya know if you had learned on the 1st throw you wouldn't be doing this...oh and if you have some extra yellow paint leftover...I may need it one day if I EVER get to try my board.
