Hang Ten at Xanadu

Have you ever been shopping and thought to yourself, this place needs a wave pool so I can surf? I know I have. Luckily for us Xanaduians we don't have this problem.
Adrenalina, a Miami-based entertainment and apparel company, has signed a lease to open a store at Xanadu in East Rutherford. The stores sell extreme sports equipment such as wakeboards, skateboards and wet suits, as well as bathing suits, board shorts, T-shirts and sunglasses.
The idea behind it is that people will see the wave pool and want to go surfing but, oh no, they don't have their swim stuff! Well I guess they need to buy some. Genius.


How does it work?
The Flowrider, a water ride found at outdoor amusement parks, shoots jets of water up an inclined slope. The rushing water creates the effect of surfing the top of a wave. Customers pay $20 for a 30-minute session in the Flowrider.
Snowboard in the morning at the snow dome, surf in the afternoon. I don't surf or snowboard but might just learn how. Totally rad dude! Hang Ten! Surfs Up! [insert other surfing terms here].
