Is he too OLD?

[KPfromCT]

We are going to be in Grand Turk in July.

DH decides last night, that he would like to try the FlowRider:eek:

I read the reviews on CCL website, and it was all about the KIDS.

He is 42. He is in great physical shape, but I can't help but wonder.......

 

Any older folks try it?

 

I just don't want him to break something, on the 2nd day of our cruise:eek:

Yup. I'm selfish like that:rolleyes:

 

Thoughts?

They advertise it for kids because that's who is usually interested in it, but there' sno reason an adult can't do it. He should try it and I bet he'll have fun.

It's definitely for his age as well. I have not done the one in Grand Turk, but on RCI Ships and in other places, people of all ages use them. Not just for kids.

I have seen plenty of adults of ALL ages give it a try at Grand Turk. I say give it a go!!!

Just make sure he does not say "Hey Ya'll watch this!":eek:

A video will make a great memory too! :)

I am 45, pleasantly plump and did the flow rider last August. Had an absolute blast. I actually stayed on the board pretty well. Maybe being plump has its advantages

I beat you all. I did the Flowrider on oasis of the seas a couple months before my 60th birthday. And, I rode the darn thing!

Can you more "adult" people tell me how it was? Fun? Did you get a face full of water? Lose a bathing suit top? :D it interest me and would like to know what it's like. We were there in January and didn't see anyone ride it.

Awwwww!!! You guys are the BEST!!!! This is why I LOVE these boards.:D

Thank you for all of the comments.

I will be the good wife, and just videotape him wiping out:eek::eek:

And I am pretty sure he will be a TAD bit sore the following day. LOL

You almost had to buy me a new monitor.:D Nearly spit my wine out on the computer screen! Pretty sure he WON'T be saying that......:D We are from Connecticut, not down south. lol

My grandpa is 52 he did it last year and we are doing it against this years he will have a blast

When I did it, they had us start by kneeling on the board. From there, we progressed to standing with one of the guys holding both our hands. As a person got their balance, the trainer would let go of one hand, and eventually, the other hand. I wiped out three times before I was able to ride it from one side of the wave flow to the other. One young kid never managed it, one guy did it, and a younger woman did it. About six others never got it. For a woman, it's best to wear a one-piece suit with a t-shirt over it.

 

I have several pictures of me riding, and wiping out, but can't post them until tomorrow night when I'm back home.
