No boats, but there is water and air! Added this to my bucket list. Looks fun:D!
Anyone ever done this?

@Bruce Could you change to the "General Off Topic" forum? That is where I meant to put it in the first place. :confused:

That would have been a blast when I was in my 20's...don't know that my 50's body could handle that now.

Looks like tons of fun but I must admit I will owe my chiropractor about $750 in the weeks after a day at that place!

Have to admit I do not how my 50+ body would handle it, but you only live once and I am definitely not getting younger! @BigN8 If I ever do this, may need your chiropractors phone number.

They only open this thing to the public once a year during a music festival. They sell out at about 500 people and people can use it all day. Other than that it is a summer camp for kids and I would assume they get to use it for different activities. I saw this a couple years ago and looked into it. Dang that would be fun!

Reminds me of the show Nitro Circus when Travis Pastrana made the "slip-n-bleed"

Just think back to when you didn't quite get a clean entry off the high board? That is considerably higher and the degree of difficulty is also higher.
