The Wipeout Post

Sunday, Sarah and I headed to Adrenalina, at the Florida Mall to sign up for their flow rider machine. It’s basically a mock wave with optimal surfing conditions generated by massive jets that shoot water up a plastic wave shaped slide. It’s about 10ft tall and probably 30 ft long, and kept inside a giant boxed in area in the back of the store. The store sells extreme sporting gear, like boards, paintball markers and mountain climbing gear, and has this gigantic tank in the rear with the wave machine in it. The store fills with onlookers who crowd around the tank and cheer (or jeer) the surfers inside. There were some pros there that were pulling off some pretty cool moves, but more importantly there were shumcks (like us) who busted their asses and ate a lot of wipeouts. Unfortunately we weren’t able to take any footage of us hitting the waves, but we did get some shots of the people who went on before us. Check out the video below to get an idea of what it was like. And then THIS ONE to see how painful it can be... Loads of fun, we had a great time. Glad we did it.
