What's the name of those things you surf on???

Question

where it's a huge stationary machine that makes a permanent wave like they have at some water parks? and where can i find one?

Answer 1

I think it's called a wave-ramp, or stationary wave.

Answer 2

its called a flow rider machine.  i dont know exactly where you live so its hard to say where you can find one, but i know theres one in orlando at a store called adrenalina.  theyre also brining one to tampa sometime this fall.

Answer 3

Tom Morey had a pump powered one he was working on that was for the shore line at lakes and someone was working on one to be towed behind a boat like water-skiing (I believe that was from the Flowrider people as well).

The towed one sounds like the only one that would be feasible for private owners.

Answer 4

Yo they need one of those up here in Fairbanks Ak, its tottally flatt up here in the Artic!

Answer 5

i think everybody that doesnt live on the coast should get one of those. we need waves here people. OMG!! you should start a business where people pay you to ride your flow ride, like a surf park or sumthing!
