BUILDING A WATERSLIDE IN NICARAGUA | Surf Ranch Brothers - Ep 18

In under 2 weeks we built a fiberglass water slide at the Surf Ranch Resort in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. We had no idea what we were doing but we hired a guy who builds panga boats and I showed him our idea. He has never built a slide or been on one. Also the materials are not very easy to find here in Nicaragua, but we managed to make it happen and it turned out awesome! The water slide is free to use for all guests and visitors, so if you are in Nicaragua, stop on by and try it out!

Amazing! Best homemade waterslide i have ever seen

[@surfranch]

wow thanks!

[@myrickprince6776]

Love the video bro. I’m really interested to know how they formed the actual fiberglass pieces though. Really was hoping you would video that process a little more. Is it just plywood sheathing with cloth and resin? How did they form that circular rib where they connect the pieces together?

[@surfranch]

Yes we had a large black drainage pipe...so we create wood forms around it to get the half circle...then yes used cloth and resin on top.

That's totally awesome! I'll come check it out next time I come to popoyo!

[@surfranch]

[@Sloth345]

How much did it cost??

[@DjNica22279]

Can you please send me the contact info of the fiberglass guy.

[@owenchabot]

What is the size of the water pipe? I am building a slide similar to this but using a raft instead.

[@surfranch]

Not sure, I think it was around 3 feet wide

[@bemccune7671]

Literally didn't show the one part that is mentioned in the title. Nothing whatsoever shown about how the actual slide was made. You said you couldn't find anything... Then posted a video thay also showed nothing about how to actually make it. Lol.... Also dang with that narrow pool this seems like it's just begging for a lawsuit. Looks fun tho!
