Is the FlowRider similar to a wave pool?
No, the FlowRider is not a wave pool – it’s better than that. Traditional wave pools use paddles, plungers, pressure or gravity to pulse a mass of water through a pool of water many acres wide. Wave pools are designed to put as many riders as possible on that dissipating wave of energy. A FlowRider sheet wave is an endless wave which pumps thousands of gallons of water over a composite membrane riding surface, creating a perfect perpetual wave. The FlowRider allows the participant to drop in on their own unbroken “wave,” feel the power and acceleration, carve a turn, do maneuvers and cut back. The real estate requirements of a sheet wave are measured in square feet, not acre feet.
