How I survived my first flowboarding experience

Sheets of water gush out of the huge sloped pool. The water is just ankle deep, but flowing at 32km to 48km per hour, it is strong enough to knock you off your feet if you aren’t careful.

The good news is that the surface is made of a soft and bouncy material so even if you do fall, you’d literally get a “soft landing”.
