The
2010 US Flow Tour is coming to the Pocono Mountains, bringing with it bodyboarders and flowboarders from all over the country. Not sure what the heck I'm talking about? A Flow Rider is basically a small pool that creates a wave in one spot. It allows people to practice their surfing and bodyboarding indoors. Both
Camelbeach and
Split Rock Resort have Flow Riders. And this weekend (the July 31 at Camelbeach and August 1 at H20ooohh at Split Rock), the Pocono Mountains is a big stop on the national tour. Participants coming from as far as the southern and western United States will be trying their luck.
This sport is quickly gaining popularity among the young and old adventure crowd. It's kind of like skateboarders using a half-pipe. The tour is becoming bigger by the day. In total, over the course of the 2010 Tour, over $25,000 will be given out. It's exciting to watch and tons of fun to try. So when the events are over this weekend, get yourself some passes at Camelbeach and H20ooohh and try it for yourself.
