rcclman1 Posted January 25, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2009 So I am going on FOS this february and my girls are looking forward to the flow rider. I was just curious about your past experiances with the flowrider and wardrobe malfunctions to help me figure out what they should wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicKen Posted January 25, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Women are HIGHLY encouraged to wear a t-shirt on the flowrider. You may want to check the hieght requirement, I think it is 48 inches (not sure). The force of the water has been known to disrobe many a rider.

honeywell Posted January 25, 2009 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2009 one piece swimsuit, board shorts with surf shirt or at the very least a t-shirt over swimsuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulders Posted January 25, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2009 On a recent visit to a local waterpark that has a flowrider, I noticed that a lot of the riders had their shorts pulled down a little further by the current than was comfortable when they fell. :o I would go with one-pieces for girls.

ejpumpkin Posted January 25, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I am glad you posted this question! I have wondered about this as well. :rolleyes: I assume the t-shirt women are encouraged to wear should not be white and should be some what form fitting? I just imagine a big shirt would get in the way and be bothersome. Good to know!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravlGrl Posted January 25, 2009 #6 Share Posted January 25, 2009 If the girls are not wearing a one-piece, then they should be wearing board shorts over their bikini bottoms. I wore a bikini with board shorts and a tight tank top on top but I STILL lost my bottoms!!! This happened twice! :eek: Next time I will wear shorts that are tighter fitting so they stay up when I fall down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tight fitting, dark t-shirts seemed to be popular and functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the ship sails Posted January 26, 2009 #13 Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Even with a one piece its best if the girls still wear a t-shirt. I wore a bikini and a t-shirt and was glad that I had the t-shirt on.;) Never lost my bottoms but the "girls" did pop out of the top.:p However the t-shirt kept the "girls" covered. I did the flowrider standing up and it seemed to me that the people that lost their bottoms were those doing the boogie boarding.

I rode it 5 total times, and my bottoms flew off twice :eek: -- both while boogie boarding.

sharktums Posted January 26, 2009 #21 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I wore my bikini, then board shorts and a rash guard shirt over it (the shirt even had a loop where you tie the board shorts through so there is no way you're losing anything!) We rented it privately at night and had a blast...no wardrobe malfunctions doing surfing and boogie boarding, no injuries either...just a bit bruised and sore the next day. Here's a link to our pictures and video of it: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=680427#680427 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meansun Posted January 26, 2009 #25 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I wouldn't be as worried about losing my shorts as would if I wiped out and got an enema. That would be real bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
