Surfing a wave in the middle of a desert? Pish! But it’s too true … kinda. Head over to Planet Hollywood’s the Scene Pool Deck and check out FlowRider, a watery attraction that pumps out machine-made waves.
Riders can ride the waves classic surf style (or bodyboard style if standing up on the board is a little too scary). But don’t worry about falling, as FlowRider is built with a special surface that absorbs impacts. There is also an instructor on hand—they’ll help guide you into the waves and hold on to your arms or hands until you feel steady enough to conquer the waves on your own.
Masters of the board will also enjoy FlowRider thanks to its special wave simulation technology that really does mimic what you might find out on the ocean on an optimal surfing day.
Guests must be at least 42 inches to bodyboard and at least 48 inches to surf standing up. And it goes without saying, riders must be able to swim comfortably in case, you know, you wipe out and all. Day passes are available for purchase so you can surf FlowRider multiple times throughout the day, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
In between hanging ten, check out the Scene Pool Deck’s other amenities, including multiple pool areas, for both families and those 21+, as well as the restaurant and bar area serving specialty cocktails and delicious poolside bites.
