SRP, I don't think that maintaining the temperature would be the problem, but getting the right pressure would be. If you keep the water flowing through the hose, then the internal pressure of the hose decreases (the faster the flow, the less pressure). It would take some serious math/physics engine...

Tip relaxation

I've been looking around on the forums for a while, and I've found that a ski looses about half its camber when it comes out of the press. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't mean to be so rash, but have you thought about making your own?

However, I'd be more than happy to make some for you in a couple of years after I get everything finalized.
