FAQ
Can I rent the wave for 1 day?
Yes, but please note that the amount of the 1-day rental fee will be the same if you run the wave for 1 hour or 10 hours that day.
Does the Renal Fee include the cost of the load in day?
Yes. The 1-2 setup days, the operational day(s) and 1-2 breakdown days are all included.
Does the Rental Fee include shipping costs?
No. FlowRider obtains a quote from a carrier/freight company and then once a reasonable price is locked in, we introduce the client to the main contact at said freight company. This way the carrier can bill the client directly. NOTE: This is usually the highest expense aside from the Rental Fee itself.
Are there any specific requirements for where the water has to be sourced?
It depends on the state and/or city regulations. It’s been 50/50 with the most rentals; sometimes a city employee can tap a nearby hydrant and sometimes it needs to be trucked in.
What about draining the tank?
This also depends on state and/or city regulations. We have equipment to drain the water into a nearby storm drain. We treat the water so that pre-drain the chlorine level is less than 1ppm (safe for environment).
However, if the city requires that the water be moved into a water truck and taken off site by a water truck, then you arrange with that water truck company to be onsite at the same time you plan ending your rental. We must start the draining process right after the wave turns off.
Speaking of water, where do I get additional water to refill the attraction during my multi-day event?
It’s easiest to run a simple garden hose into the tank. The attraction will lose water due to spray over the walls, evaporation and water getting soaked into riders’ clothing. Our operators will keep an eye on the fill line so that the wave operates properly throughout the activation.
What is the ideal surface for the FlowRider Mobile?
A level concrete or asphalt surface like a parking lot is the absolute best. No grass. No sand.
What are the specific requirements for the crane and fork lift? I want to give the equipment rental company (e.g. Sunbelt Rentals) the correct information. I need to budget these costs in too.
The crane you rent needs to be able to handle a 15 ton load; this is for loading/unloading container off of the flatbed. This is only necessary for offloading the container RIGHT when it arrives onsite and then when the container is all packed up again after the event.
Skytrak with extendable boom arm forklift with minimum lift capacity of 13,500 lbs (6,000 kgs).
Generator set cat xq175 (or equivalent).
What’s up with us having to pay for FlowRider, Inc.’s travel and accommodations?
It’s standard for the Client to pay for airfare and accommodations for the operators. We would rather not pay for these items, add a margin and then pass it to you. Protocol is that we pay for it, then request simple reimbursement from you/your accounting team.
What are the branding opportunities for the FlowRider Mobile?
Branding the wave is totally fine. The area that is off-limits is basically the inside of the wave, especially ride surface itself. We would also need a 2’ buffer area around the edges of the ride. It’s also requested that there are no sharp points or objects involved in the branding elements.
During setup any major, large format pieces planned for around the wave will have to go up in pieces. A lot of clearance around the wave for the first full day of set up is necessary to make sure the wave gets pieced together and works properly before anything is erected around it.
NOTE: A 10’x10’ space right behind the attraction needs to be left clear for the filtration and electrical components.
Is it free to ride the wave?
That is entirely up to you and your team. Once the ride is up and running, our team’s main focus is that your patrons are safe and having a good time learning how to flowboard!
How many people can be on the wave at a time?
One person on the wave at time! The sessions however should consist of up to 10 people per 30 or 60 minutes. Basically a group of people form a line and then take turns getting on the wave. Past clients have set up online waiver-signing and booking portals, so that the sessions are organized before the day even starts.
Will FlowRider, Inc. provide boards for my patrons to ride during my event?
Yes! We will bring bodyboards and flowboards.
NOTE: All first-time patrons will start by bodyboarding and then “graduate” to flowboarding (stand up riding).
Will FlowRider, Inc. provide swim trunks/suits for my patrons to wear when they ride?
No.
Will the operators ride/exhibit their skills during the event at some point(s)?
Sure! If it is a professional FlowRider Team Rider that you want to enlist, there is a fee. The amount is negotiable depending on the length of the event and your plan/vision. FlowRider would pay that rider and then add that fee as a line item in the reimbursement invoice mentioned above.
NOTE: Some operators are not professional team riders, but are totally proficient, so they will hop on whenever requested.
