The Rec Get Passes
Surf's Up — now running the ten

The ocean is four hours that way.

We built the barrel here instead. The most complete stationary wave installation in the country — a sheet wave, a deep flow wave, and a ten-foot barrel — indoors, in Ashland, Kentucky, at 84° all year.

Controlled access · Own entrance · Own identity

Three waves.
One progression.

Start on the sheet. Graduate to the board. Earn the barrel. Lessons at every level, private sessions, surf-only memberships, and a shop with boards and gear. Spectator seating, because watching is half of it.

Rider on a stationary sheet wave Level 01 · Everyone

FlowRider Double

An accessible sheet wave on the main waterpark floor. Bodyboard first, stand when you're ready. Two lanes, so nobody waits long.

Surfer riding a deep flow wave on a real board Level 02 · Progression

FlowSurf

Deep flow, real surfboards, adjustable wave height. This is where you learn to actually surf — turn, carve, and fall a lot.

Surfer inside a breaking barrel wave Level 03 · Advanced

FlowBarrel Ten

Ten feet of standing barrel. The spectacle piece, the competition floor, and the reason people drive from Charleston and Lexington.

The reason it exists

Dignity is
designed in.

The card looks identical to everyone else's. The swipe is identical. No one can tell the difference between a kid whose parents loaded their card and a kid whose card we loaded.

In partnership with the Ashland Area YMCA, at-risk youth get full facility access through their Y membership — and we fund expanded scholarships so more kids qualify than the Y could carry alone. After-school programs, summer camps, ninja classes, surf lessons, leagues, mentorship, tutoring.

Privately funded. Owned outright. No debt, no investors, no taxpayer money. Once the build is paid back, the profit cycles back into the programs. Indefinitely.
