Cords’ staff day out - snowboarding and flowriding

Not snobby about bothering to ride it Cords, snobby about why they would build one without a barrel, I don’t reckon the costs would be any different and everyone knows the barrel is the holy grail of surfing!

My thoughts precisely.
Have you seen how epic the tube is on a flowrider Cords?

I’m simply surprised they build it without the barrel section, like really surprised!
It’s like having a ski resort and not installing lifts.
Or eating bacon but cutting off the fat.

I’d suspect that the cost difference would actually be quite large actually and when you factor in that the skandis will pay to ride the cheapo version with lower injury rates then maybe I can see why they would do dit.

Also have you actually been on the barrelling ones? They slam the shit out of you and the injury toll is massive. Unless you have ridden one you can’t really claim you would love it.

The chances of blowing your snow season if there was a real flowrider in your resort would have to be pretty high. Id probably still have a crack though haha.

Although you have to admit, a barrelling flowrider at the boardworld shred could provide one funny evening.
