Wow! (again) that sure looks like fun. Dos it take a long time to learn how to do it? I can see there must be a line watign to drop in on top of you. How long do you get per ride? #6199998

Donna La Mattino Pagakis July 20, 2008

Thank you Bob, Sue and Les.

I started riding this flowrider seriously in the summer of 2002. It does take a lot of practice to learn how to do tricks. Of course, the children pick it up quickly.

The waterpark is only open during the summer months. And it does get crowded. But if you time it right, the line isn't too long. The typical ride time is 30 seconds, unless you get a cool lifeguard or the line is short.

I highly recommend this if you ever get a chance to ride!!!

Great shot Donna..I had no idea you could do this. Looks like you are in pretty good shape too. Do they have one of these parks close to where you live?That might be a good photo shoot sometime. #7249141

Thank you Sharon, Irene, Bill, Tiia and Marilyn.

This flowrider is located at the Wave Watepark in Vista, California. It is only few miles away from where I live.

There are many others located around the world. To find one near you go to wavetheplanet.com!
