Indoor surfing

Did you see the vacuum gauge on that suction cup handle?

Just imagine if you saw that gauge losing vacuum while that train’s at speed.

Did you see him at the beginning of the video he is pumping it up.. If it looses pressure you just pump it back up. We have a cheap 7 inch cup at work that holds 1100 pounds pull force and 700 pounds sheer force. They are pretty amazing

in Orlando it used to be a water park I think it was water mania that had a virtual wave where you could ride a Knee board I loved that place and will last so long that they will cut of power so I will have to let go was so cool. this place got tore down last yrs would love to find and other place like that. in one of the cruise ship there is a wave where you could surf also I seen the commercial on TV.
and this guy on the train is nut.

Who would of thought you could actually surf on a river

Yup: people ride bores - the biggest is the Severn Bore in the UK. It's a weird surge wave that builds in estuaries. Take a look:

They travel slowly so you can ride them forever - if you fall you jump in a car and get ahead of it.

Edit: found a video. http://www.severn-bore.co.uk/videos/borevid1_56.ram (Realplayer stream)

I rode one of those three weeks ago at Boyne Mountain in Michigan. They are called flowriders and they seem to be popping up at alot of waterparks. They've been around since at least 1993. Its very challenging when you ride a surf board (it not really a surfboard but more like a wake skate). It's a blast but you would never get a ski on it. Even with all the water pressure, a ski would be too heavy. The only way would be to build a ski out of foam with no motor.

There is a flow rider out here at a bar in Pacific Beach. Actually they have a couple of them, one like in the vid and another to learn on that is a little more mellow. Looks like a ton of fun.
