Flow Tour 2026 – Stop #3 | Grand Prairie, Texas
May 30th & 31st
After taking a year off to complete major upgrades throughout the waterpark and a full refurbishment of the FlowRider, FlowaPalooza made its highly anticipated return to Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark, and the Epic Waters team rolled out the red carpet from the moment riders arrived.
With more than 70 competitors and 45 heats spread across two action-packed days, there was no shortage of excitement on the wave. Epic Waters continues to set the standard for competitive Flowboarding, with the live stream showcased in the VIP room, real-time scores displayed on the big screen, and an atmosphere that truly highlights the world’s best riders.
The action wasn’t limited to the FlowRider. Throughout the weekend, competitors and spectators enjoyed activities around the venue, live music, and entertainment that kept the energy high from start to finish. We were also honored to have our President, Marshall Myrman and Vice President of Sales, Andy Yathon make the trip to be part of the event.
One of the most remarkable parts of returning to Epic Waters is seeing how much the area has grown. When we first started visiting, the venue was surrounded by little more than dirt and construction. Today, it has transformed into a vibrant destination filled with restaurants, water shows, live entertainment, and community gathering spaces that make it a great place for both FlowBoarders and local families to enjoy year-round.
Back on the wave, the competition delivered a thrilling finish. In Pro Men’s Flowboarding, Nate Newman secured the gold medal with a last-minute score on Best Trick that brought the crowd to its feet… a Blizzard Flip. If you’re not familiar with the trick, do yourself a favor and rewatch the live stream or look it up. It’s one of the most technical and impressive maneuvers in the sport today.
With another successful stop in the books, the 2026 season has officially reached its halfway point. The bags are packed, the boards are loaded, and the tour now heads west to Utah for the next chapter of the season.
See you on the waves.
Josh Ornelaz, Flow Tour Director
