testing the Waterborne copy Surfskate adaptor.

testing out a new surfskate setup using the cheap copy of the waterborne surf adaptor & rail adaptor. conclusion... not bad. definitely worth the money. i prefer how YOW, Carver CX & Smoothstar feel, but its a pretty close 4th.

@@shahbazbhuiyan2177 no it isn't.

Hi, do u have a valve that slows the water draining from the pond into the 1 st barrel? im new at this and trying to make a pond for my ducks that wont cost too much, pardon me if its a silly question.
Hello. No valve going out. I did add one on my pump outlet on my next version of this pond system to regulate the flow. if you restrict the flow from the pond it will overflow, so only restrict the pump speed if you need to.
The cement towel idea is brilliant! Going to borrow the idea for my duck pond some time in the near future. Thank u so much for all the amazing inspiration.
This so much. I love how this man can craft something out of nothing.
Love your set up! So do the ducks obviously😊.
I love the way the duck came running the minute he saw the cup!
Knock off chinese Waterborne adapters. Used them and bought the real things, big difference between the quality.
Is this the vestar mini 2 turbo?
Its the mini 1 with hub drive. Still not taken it to top speed. 18mph is the max i have been & that starts to feel unstable if you keep the trucks loose enough to steer at low speeds.
I can’t wait to have ducks 🦆
⚡ *Mini boards awesome* ⚡
Thank you. Followed you design roughly. And with 3 days the water is running clear and I can seethe bottom of the duck pond and they are loving it.
Hey Lee :) Came across your video from a recommendation on the Backyard Chickens Forum, as the best biofilter system they'd ever seen. I'd agree :) I appreciate this might sound a bit mental, but I'm wondering if there's any chance we could hire you for a day? We're pretty handy, but our current setup doesn't work, and we'd love some help with the planning? We're in Yarm, about an hour from Leeds. How about it? Fancy a paid day of meeting our ducks and telling us what to do?! Flora xx
Hello, sorry i only just noticed the comments on this. I would be happy to help if you are local enough & its not too late already. ❤
Awesome 👏👏the best system I’ve found .I will be using this for my duck pond.
Look up Rob Bob on yt he knows Aquaponics
Yeah, i watched a few of these. My system is more reed bed sewage system than aquaponics. Feathers & plant debris is the biggest problem.
My duck does that too
This is amazing. I would love to be able to do something similar for my ducks instead of emptying paddling pools all the time. We do have an existing fish pond with a pump and filter but trying to keep the 6 Indian runners out for now as it is a recipe for disaster. Perhaps there is a way to adjust our existing set up by moving the fish into a separate tank freeing up the pond for the ducks and adding more filters
My fish are mostly living in the duck pond section now. The don't seem to mind & they eat the dropped duck food.
This looks like a fantastic setup. I live in a temperate zone. Do you think this would still function in the winter?
You're my spirit animal.
Thanks
I love this idea because you're not pulling poop through the pump and chopping it up, making extraction a lot easier. I'm planning a duck pond build and I've been wracking my brains trying to think of a way to achieve this when the pond is set into the ground, while maintaining that great muck drainage system you've got going on. So far the best I have come up with is to maybe design a vacuum system with a sealed barrel which will draw water and poop from the bottom of the pond, up to the barrel at ground level and not have it pass through a pump. Would you have any suggestions?
Nice vidya!
Very impressed, you seem to be one of those guys who can turn ur hand to anything.
So cool
That's awesome!
This is the best duck pond filtration system I've seen so far. Nice !
What are your board dimensions?
Your ducks are beautiful ❤️🦆
The bowl looks like it has a nice flow to it. The mountain board would be a good time for sure.
This is so wholesome :)
keep at it, Dude! Already lookin' good!
how do you manage the mosquitoes in the pond ? I get mosquitoes on my duck pond
I got goldfish. They eat all the mosquitos. They can hide from the ducks in the bottom of the pond & in the other section. Now the fish are fairly big, the ducks dont try to eat them.
It looks pretty sweet and behaves really like a Surfskate Congrats 👍
I have improved it a little since this video. But it is fundamentally the same. Great fun in tight spots & on a miniramp, but speed is pretty terrifying.
اشو سالب
Epic, Love it.
You make it look easy! My first ride did not go as smoothly 🤣.
I had been riding my DIY surfskates a few months at this point. This was my first bought surfskate, well, trucks anyway.
@@sideways_fun nice. I need to time on it for sure.
sad, i think the dude is suffering from a nervous problem
This is how female Ducks flirt with the males. Nothing wrong with her.
really smooth!!
Nice job, I haven’t so much room to work with but gonna try something similar emptying pond by hand every 2 days proper ballache , interesting use of “concrete towels” , haven’t seen that before.
Beautiful!!
This is an AMAZING kennel!!!
The latest version is even better. I upgraded it & added a cascade for them. th-cam.com/video/BjhFjF4HJdw/w-d-xo.html
@@sideways_fun oh my goodness!!! I went and checked it out and it's gorgeous!!!! I absolutely love how you've made them an entire ducky sanctuary! 😍😇
This is the kind of video that gets recommended after 2 years. currently 310 views.
not sure I understand what your point is?
Yea same we will be here in 7 years with 23m views 😂
how did you make the front truck?
I got a caster mounted on a 22 degree angle. Took the single wheel out & added a threaded rod as an axel to fit a pare of wheels on the outside. There are a few variations on this to add a return spring. I think this one had a silicone band to help it spring back to center.
I have never seen anyone successfully tackle backyard duck pond filtration successfully. This is about as close as i've seen anyone do it. Very well done. What do you do with the accumulated duck muck in the settling tank? How often do you have to drain that?
Cheers. I dump the sludge every 3 months roughly. Tip it on the garden & in plant pots. It stinks, but the smell go's after a couple of hours. So far so good. Been running pretty free of maintenence for a couple of years now :)
too many selfie views....
I tried to get a good mix, but the better footage was generally the selfie shots. If I had more time I would take more video, but meh, I was too busy just enjoying the riding. I think this was the first year I got a selfie stick, so it made a change from just headcam footage only.
Nice.
What size barrels do you use? 3 all the same?
They dont have to be all the same, but the tops need to be level with each other, so if the pump stops, you dont lose any water.
Bigger volume of water the better. I started with a bath, 2x 60l barrels & a bin. Now i have 3x ibc containers & a bath. Holds about 3000l total.
Damn cute ducks
You obviously suck at surfing
Yeah. I dont live near the ocean.
That sure is a duck
Yep
Agreed
Hahaha! that's just too funny, Lee! You've got a great setup, man...
How do the water plants do during the winter ?
They die back, but the bacteria in the roots still clean the water. The pond weed still helps keep the nitrates down though.
