Good luck with the build Swinks. Being a Sunshine Coast beach goer myself, the theme is right up my alley. Despite the fact that I can't surf for shit, a surf theme pinball sounds like my kind of action. I look forward to your updates. Favourited.

Perhaps if you decide to go with the single moulded wave as illustrated, you can incorporate a mech that tilts the wave. When in the down position the ball can access the lower part of the wave (the lower channel/ramp) and when in the fully upright position it follows the upper channel/ramp. Not sure on the custom mech required for this to work and I'm just throwing the idea out there, but it would serve to also approximate wave movement.
I love what you are doing and look forward to seeing more progress.
Quoted from swinks:I wish I could draw and build "fibre" speed,
but if anything - interest is dropping here, and might improve once I start building something so might not post as often or only when there is something meaty to show, people only want to see so many models.
Post and show as many models as you want to...I like seeing the planning process in action.
