Tensioned Fabric Ride Surface

• Cornerstone of our success – client safety first!

• Game changing technology

• Absorbs impacts vs. landing on foam and a hard substrate

• G-Force testing and independent lab testing does not lie

• 1’ fall on foam = 6’ fall on tensioned fabric

• Incredibly durable and resilient

Inflatable Ride Surface

• Product of our never ending quest for the next big thing

• Like landing on a large sofa

• Patented technology available on select FlowRider^® models including, WaveOz™, FlowRider Triple, and Mobile

• Emerging new technology being applied to various facets of the FlowRider

Inflatable Ride Divider

• Incredibly safe, patented, barrier allows two patrons to shred at the same time

• Easy to set up and install on your FlowRider! Even easier to remove!

• Eliminates dangerous cables and wires that can pin or trap you

Nozzle Flaps

• Significant invention (yes, it is patented) that allows reduced footprint and civil works

• Immediately closes when ride shuts down

• Allows for better viewing, as it safely creates uphill flow of water

• Durable enough that advanced riders will “grind” over the top of them, or some riders launch off the nozzles

Pillow Padding^™

• Next generation in soft, safe landings

• Incredibly durable and virtually maintenance free

• Pillow Padding vs. Hollow Tube matting? No comparison!

• Minimizes lifeguard fatigue of standing all day – nothing like standing on a pillow!

Innovative Pump Design

• Utilize only the best pumps in the market

• Designed to be put in place and run….continuously!

• Robust tank coatings now standard

• Easy access for routine maintenance

• Over 400 pumps in operation – some up to 25 yrs old!

Highest Quality Materials & Standards

• We use only stainless steel and non-corrosive materials like fiberglass and vinyl

• Very focused on safety and durability

• FlowRider's Leader is the Chairman of the ASTM F24.70 - Task Group for Stationary Wave Systems

• FlowRider has set the industry standard in safety and durability that all other surf machines TRY to live up to

Shallow Tank Design

• Modified pump tube intake design which allows us to make the water tank much shallower

• Minimal excavation means lower civil works cost

• Shallower means less water which lowers your mechanical costs

• Smaller filtration plants mean lower operating costs

• Easier to install and maintain

Variable Frequency Drive

• Centralized diagnostic information of pumps and motors

• Flexible with electrical supply voltage and frequency

• Optimized speed control can boost or lower the water flow on demand

• Managed control brings the most efficient flow of water to the ride while saving the most energy

• Low starting current allows for efficient starting and stopping as often as required

• Advanced diagnostics leads to a safer ride

• Highest Industry safety rating, ensures pump will not run under dangerous conditions or be pushed beyond its limits
