Actually, diving board are simply short and stumpy. Nothing but a mere platform over the water.
My parents still have the full size flexible board. God willing I may have that someday. Mopey sister’s, built 30 years later is the hard stub.
My pool was built sometime in the late 1980’s and I had a board that was extremely flexible.
You can’t buy a flexible board like that today.
A lot of folks I sold and built pools for, went with “diving rocks” since the classic diving board didn’t fit with the natural setting they wanted to re-create.
I was just reminiscing my pool building days with google earth.
WOW !!!
I can zoom into virtually ever pool I sold/designed or built and they all have a story.
The $110,000 pool that didn’t include the rock water feature or the decking.
The classic 20’ by 40’ rectangle that cost the homeowner more than twice the contract price as we hit an underground aquifer. Insane.
The rocks, the fill and managing the homeowners expectations.
