Made a homemade delta. I hope to try it out this weekend. Let me know what you think.

I'm thinking of doing the same. Is that one of the aluminum dent pullers from ebay?

I found some at Harbor Freight for $8. Also found this thread last night - http://www.mastercraft.com/teamtalk/sho ... hp?t=70442. Lots of options and ideas starting about halfway through the thread.

Did you use 1/2" or 3/4" HDPE?
Thanks

I used 3/4 cause that's what I had. Also the harbor freight suction cup is the way to go. The HOD Amazon is not strong enough

So you think 1/2" would work?

To add some info to the thread... The amazon plastic cups fell off every 5 minutes for me. The amazon metal ones worked like a charm https://www.amazon.com/COSMOS-Aluminum- ... uction+cup

Used 1/2" HDPE off amazon. Two shelf brackets from lowes, http://www.lowes.com/pd/Style-Selection ... et/3455946 . The shelf brackets have holes predrilled and they line up with the middle of the suction cups (close).

TeamTalk has an extended thread on this. I cut my hdpe 9"x6" and rounded the outer part. The entire build process took about 45 minutes and my surf wave is super clean.
