Randy Cozens, owner of X~Stream Wake Boarding Pools has created the Wake Rider, which features wake boarding, wake skating, and wake surfing and is now becoming the new wake of the future!
Kids at a young age are now learning how to wake board and snow board instead of water skiing and snow skiing. Water skiing and snow skiing are now considered to be old school, boring and a thing of the past! Not cool! In addition, wake skating and wake surfing have become very popular water sports and that's where the Wake Rider comes into play!
( Wake Rider )
Randy has created something that has never been done before - an authentic wake boarding experience that duplicates the exact experience of wake boarding behind a boat. This pool accommodates every rider from children to professionals, in a safe, controlled environment.
The Wake Rider eliminates the outside factors that make the sport more difficult, such as bad weather, or heavy boat traffic that creates rough, choppy water. These outside factors could normally cause a variation of speed inconsistency due to rough water conditions. With rough water conditions gone, it only adds to the reasons why someone would want to use the X~Stream Wake Rider.
Built inside a water park, resort, or simply as its own attraction, the Wake Rider can be used strictly for recreation.
Teens will swarm eagerly to try new tricks alongside young kids who are giving their best efforts to learn. Parents will be begged for just one more visit. The Wake Rider can also appeal to the professional wake boarder, where it captures all the needs and desires along with ideal wake boarding conditions year round.
The Wake Rider doesn't have to be a permanent structure. The pool can be designed and built in sections where it can be set up, taken down, and shipped from place to place for weekend events such as wake board tournaments. Spectators can now view and applaud up close in a stadium setup during wake boarding competitions!
( How it works )
The Wake Rider 600 is a larger tournament-sized pool. Its riding surface has a radius of 50 ft by 100 ft, creating a half circle. This emulates the same scenario as a wake boarder with a 50 ft ski rope.
The Wake Rider features six 125 hp submersible pumps each producing 24,000 Gallons per minute, totaling over 144,000 Gallons per minute. The water flow is equal to 6 average size pools full of water per minute! The pumps push water through a 3 inch nozzle opening, producing a stream of water across the width of the 90 ft pool at speeds of up to 22 mph, which is the ideal speed for wake boarding!
The riding surface of the pool is created by an inflatable air mat that is 12 inches in thickness by 100 ft. in length with a 50 ft radius. The air mat creates a soft, natural feel while having a durable surface that holds up under normal wake boarding use.
Built into the mat are two simulated wakes that a boat would normally produce. This mat floats on top of the pool, giving support for the stream of water as well as the riders.
If a rider falls or decides to let go, the water carries them off the outer edge of the mat and into a 12 ft wide, 5 foot deep pool. This pool then returns them to shallow water so they can safely exit. The safety of this design also allows a rider to have the typical wake board with boots attached.
The air mat also has a second option, which is a blow up outer wake that is 3 feet high at the center. This wake tapers from one corner to the center and back down to the other corner and simulates a boat wake or ocean wave that can be inflated in minutes.
The outer wake option allows wake surfing, wake skating, and boogie boarding to take place. The Wake Rider pool gives the best of both worlds! Randy has also created smaller versions called the Sling Shot model 400 & 300.
The Wake Rider is the perfect investment to attract both professional and recreational wake boarders, wake skaters, wake surfers and even boogie boarders.
Its controlled and fast moving water environment is both safe and extremely fun for people of all ages. Having the X-Stream Wake Rider pool installed at a resort, water park, or as a stand-alone attraction will most certainly increase visitors, traffic, and revenue!
