it costs s$30 for 1 hour...and s$50 for 2 hours... (since those 2 so hardcore, obviously we paid for 2 hours...not that i objected...
Until i saw the wave pool... OMG...almost pengsan...it looked terrifying!
"...100,000 gallons of water per minute flowing as fast as 30 mph (48 kmph) curl over a surface that looks like a section of a skateboard park. The result is a perfect, endlessly tubing six-foot wave that has similar power and challenge to many of the waves breaking along the reefs of Indonesia." Or just imagine throwing yourself into a giant washing machine- mid wash AND spin!
Lucky thing i was feeling *ahem* modest that day so i decided to go for the easier, less challenging Double Flowrider instead...but man.. there were so many people! A group of 20 guys booked up the entire left lane for a private session.. so they just had to witness how graceful i was gonna loook...hahahah
Lucky Bang and Chong Yi were hungry so we had lunch first. Phew... extra time to stall before making my grand debut... (and also praying fervently the party of 20 would leave by the time our turn came!!)
Ok, off to changing room...better take some last shots of myself still loooking...er...kissable...
Chong Yi and i posing in front of the kids wading pool...Well ok, i posed...she just looked cool in her boardshorts and all..(note to self...must buy a pair for a day like this)Bang went first to demonstrate how its done...
He made it look sooo easy!
And Chong Yi looked sooo cool surfing!
After watching both of them i thought hmm.. Can't be that hard rite...
So it was my turn and the Flowrider taught me how to do it. He said stand on the board shoulder width apart, look straight and you've got to lean back...I started humming the FatJoe song Lean Back...that cracked both of us up! hahaha...
I used the rope to help me balance...the hard part was remembering to let go immediately when you fall (that is if you get to hann on for more than a second in the first place...) or else you kinda get yanked forward... Which happened to me a few times... ouch!!!
Wah... i think i tried about a dozen times before i finally managed to stay on for more than a couple of mere seconds!
...and even managed to look happy doing it! : )
Towards the end of our second hour i felt kinda tired and tried body surfing instead. This one was a lot easier and super fun...But of course doesn't look so cool la... Unless Bang's doing it...
The great part about the Wave House is that they open till late....
It looks even more awesome at night...
The Flow Rider and Flow Barrel is open till 11pm on weekdays and 2 am on weekends!
They have a beach bar right next to it as well... Apparently people have parties- drink, eat and surf at the same time...can't imagine doing that myself! Surfing drunk? Urgghh..
The restaurant's nice and cosy. Bang and Chong Yi says the food's alrite too. I liked how they incorporated bamboo elements throughout the place...
I had so much fun that day! I wish we had this in KL... Then i would secretly practise then phwoar! Bang and Chong Yi would be so impressed! heh... Really grateful to them both for bringing me there! : )
Doing his Yogi bear pose! : )
