Honestly, with PVC you won't be able to tell it isn't a flat surface.

buy High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) from a local specialty plastics shop. Its the stuff they make those cutting boards out of. Anyways , buy that, counter sink some screws to secure it on top, and rip it the rest of the afternoon.

yea the puck board is kinda pricey boot seems like itd be awesome. I was thinking about the vinyl stuff you line showers with, but im not sure if that would be slide able. right now i have a rail made from a pvc fence post, and a rainbow rail made from 2 adjacent 1.25 inch diameter pvc pipe.

you can use linoleum with pvc coping to protect the edges, you just need to glue it down real well

A ski hill near me had a small box with one of those crazy carpet sled things on top of it. Slid ok may need more wax on it but those are pretty cheap I mean you can buy them at most dollar stores.
