training facilities!!!!! Very Happy

This thing is used for polder drainage. It's only operating during and after rain: two +/- 24" pipes pomp water in it to a level of at least 10". Enough to wakeskate I suppose. Only the speed of the water migth be too slow. At the end the water goes down, so just before that place should be the place to try it.

W're gonna test it first with a surfboard, we'll keep u posted!!!

what happens if you fall do you get swept to somewhere? or is the current slow enough that you could stand up?

you get pounded on the concrete......then you get swept somewhere!

Rock On dude!!!! Check your PM.

Please be careful when you go to ride that. You really want to find a place that is not going to sweep you away when you bail. You are also going to need someone to fetch your decks when your bail -- that is Key!!

good luck. Holland looks like a perfect place to wakeskate.

ya maybe set up some kinda safty net behind you so when u fall your deck gets caught in the net so it doesnt go to far. Better wear a helmet 2... u dont wanna hit your head on that concrete... be carful. seems pretty sketchy to me.

To drain a polder means to emtpy a polder, not to transport sewage!!

a piece of land below sea level that needs to be drained by windmills (in the dark ages), pomps or "traning facilities" to keep it dry
