Hang ten, dudes! FlowRider, Inc. created a simulated surfing experience with its FlowRider Wave in a Box technology, and Las Vegas guests can try out the unique attraction at Planet Hollywood.
“The goal is to bring the thrill of riding a wave to anyone, anywhere in the world,” said owner Tom Lochtefeld on the company’s website.
Goal achieved! Head up to Planet Hollywood’s Scene Pool Deck, where you’ll find FlowRider. You must be 13+ to ride and the cost is $34.99 per person for a 30-minute experience. You can purchase an all-day pass, too, if you want to ride multiple times throughout the day.
A pro instructor will assist in your surfing adventure. If you’re new to surfing or even a seasoned rider, safety concerns of wiping out can be put to rest with FlowRider’s tension ride surface—built like a trampoline so falls are absorbed and easy on the body. And those waves! FlowRider’s genius is that the artificial waves actually mimic real-life ocean waves—you can even do barrel rolls (if you dare)! Riders must be able to swim; you must also be 42 inches to ride bodyboard style and 48 inches to surf standing up.
When done surfing, enjoy the Scene Pool Deck’s many amenities including daybed and cabana rentals that surround two pools (one family friendly and one adults only), two hot tubs and two bars. Food can be ordered and delivered using your mobile phone, with options coming from the property’s restaurants.
