Duane,
That wave looks really fun! How does it compare to a river or ocean wave? 
Did they let you use paddles on the wave (all the pictures show hand 
paddling). Also, was anyone able to do flat spins or blunts (a green wave 
cartwheel) on the wave? The water also looks very shallow and dangerous if 
someone flipped.
