How does it feel to be the “Middle Child?” Just ask the FlowRider Single, who is constantly pursuing kudos in its own right. Right in between the most successful sheet wave on the planet (FlowRider Double) and the upstart sibling (FlowRider Junior), the Single has an identity crisis…. until the power switch is thrown to the ON position. Then the middle child takes “Flygt.”
The Single, as we affectionately call it, has the innate ability to to bring severe joy to many different groups of people. From the beginning newbies of the upstart flowriding generation, to the expert riding of full time flowriding pro’s like Sean Silveira (who grew up on a Single), the Single is ready to handle any attack with the highest performance delivery found in any single pump product in the world.
The FlowRider Single is the “Bread and Butter” product of Wave House San Diego. It is constantly packed during the season with people getting the first wave of their life, as well as playing host every year as a favored stop on the Wave Loch FLOW Tour, in which the best riders in the world rip our little Single to shreds. But… it always bounces back with unparalleled performance. With 121 hp under the hood and a ride surface that allows over 37 sq meters (400 sq ft) of ripping ride space, the Single has a lot of adrenaline to offer!
Key Concepts
Skill Vs. Thrill – Boardsports such as surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding and flowboarding are skill-based activities that challenge riders to develop new tricks to emulate their heroes. By comparison, the typical water park or theme park rides are thrill-based rides. No skill is required and no reward or accomplishment is earned. The more you ride a thrill ride the less thrilling it becomes. This is what we call thrill fatigue. Wave Loch’s skilled-based technology is the antidote to thrill fatigue. The adrenaline rush of successful challenges met, inspires riders to achieve a never-ending cycle of skill based reward, thereby increasing rider visitations and loyalty.
The Lifestyle – Wave Loch DNA is a double helix of wave calculus and wave riding passion. We surf. We live and work at the beach. We infuse our products with our passion and stay close to our roots. Our products are icons of the California beach lifestyle. Wave Loch attractions create an emotional connection to the multibillion dollar board sports industry. Our wave technologies attract the valuable youth market, families and boardsport enthusiasts. When orchestrated correctly, the lifestyle identification inherent in Wave Loch technologies can increase venue revenues beyond those generated by the waves, including sales of food and beverage, retail products, sponsorship opportunities and corporate and competitive events.
The Sport – Flowriding is not just a ride, it is a sport… a 21st Century alchemy that has the look of surfing, the ride of snowboarding, the tricks of skateboarding, and boards derived from wakeboarding. Since the early ‘90s, the world’s best board riders have cross pollinated
into flowboarding. This new alternative board sport is taken seriously from the mountains to the sea. Flowriding will energize your facility with aspiring athletes (and ‘wannabes’) who will pay again and again to enhance their board riding skills. Not only does this repeat business enhance revenue and spread word of mouth, but the better a rider gets, the greater the show for your viewing audience.
Safety – Thrilling to do, thrilling to watch, our ride is designed to handle wipeouts. The FlowRider‘s waveform is a proprietary composite membrane ride surface that is designed to absorb the energy of impacts. Flowboarders may wipe out, but they’ll get back up again and again and again.
