did they ever get this to open? The past couple of times it always said that it was still under construction, but I forgot to check this past time I was down there. It's in the mall with the Pro Bass Shop and Vans indoor skatepark, don't remember the name of the mall

Yeah...at nterntional it is in a store called Adrenalina (or some spelling variation).

My brothers are hella good at it, but me, not so much....it is COMPLETELY different than surfing or skateboarding (which I have been doing for all my life)...flow-riding (what they call it. lol) is hard for me....but still makes for a fun day.

Every time I try to cut, I bust my ass before it comes back around. lol

It is too different from surfing and skating for me.

But is IS fun...and I would do it again for sure. lol

The park broke ground along time ago. Actually my friend was invited to do some filming and testing with Alex Parker. This park has been in progress for over 3 years now.... it will be 2020 before the damn thing is open to the public.

Don't get me wrong,the pool produced nothing epic. It was the small pool, and about a knee/ thigh wave... searched pics, but I forgot where they were.
