Gold Coast, Australia

Theme Park

There are several ways to "board" FlowRider. The most difficult of which is to drop in on the wave. One of the easier options is to gently lean onto the wave from the base.

If you do fall off you'll either slide to the bottom or be whisked to the top by the wave where there is a madded mesh flooring. Taking a spill is half the fun!

The padded surface means it's pretty impossible to injure yourself on the attraction, no matter how bad your stack.

Riders keep themselves on the wave by applying pressure with their back foot, making it different in this sense to sports like surfing and snowboarding where riders control themselves primarily with their front foot.

To celebrate the launch of FlowRider, a handful of Australia's brightest young stars in each sport were brought in to give it a go to see which sport comes out on top.

FlowRider Dreamworld

The sport has been described as a combination of surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding and skating, with skills from each coming in handy.

FlowRider Dreamworld

The attraction is best summed us as a stationary wave which riders can surf or bodyboard on.

Construction is also underway on the Dreamworld entrance building, no doubt a non-related project.
