Thread: Freedom OTS Flow Rider

My husband Greg and I decided we better get on board this latest wave of innovation and try the Flow Rider, located near the stern of the ship with bleachers to watch if you don’t want to get wet on this wild new ride. Not being a surfer, I mustered my courage to try the body board method on the 40-foot long wave simulator. I was not prepared for the 30mph surge of 34,000-gallons of water pumping at me. It only took one “Wipe Out” (the name of the Bar overlooking the wave venue), which plastered me against the back wall like a mackerel, before I got the hang-ten of it.

We both managed to boogie board three rides and decided it was thrilling and chilling - the water should feel warmer when the ship sails from its homeport of Miami. My personal recommendation: don’t try this if you are at all timid (the 2-page waiver is a clue), or if you wish to stay dry and dignified.

I loved the flowrider.
I was cautious at first.
Only did the board but road it like five times.
Actually hogged it for a little while.

Never got on my knees with no hands.
But I mastered the barrel roll.

But on the last day when they put the divider up my last ride. I did a barrel roll and collided with something and sprained two toes real bad.

But I did sign the waiver and it was my fault.
Hot doggin.

Can't wait to do it again and again
