There are many items that a wakeboarding enthusiast must consider when setting up a new rig from various safety gear to wakeboard towers to boat size and design, but it's actually possible to personally create some of the required items like wakeboard rails. The rails will often be a determining factor in the speed of the wakeboard so it's important to carefully consider the type of materials and finish used in their creation. The shape is also something to consider as more advanced riders may wish to design rails with rounded edges which will allow for greater overall speed.
