Dutch Water Dreams

Hazimah went to a birthday party of her classmate today. The place called Dutch Water Dreams is located in Zoetermeer not far from the Hague about 15 minutes by car from our home. It is an amazing place - in this flattest land on Earth the Dutch are very ingenious in coming up with all sort of things for leisure and activities. See the website.

The complex was completed in late 2006, housing an artificial Olympic wild water rafting and canoeing circuit, the exact copy of the one being built in China for the Olympic Games. For now it is mainly used for training purposes by European rafting teams. The other big thing is an indoor wave boarding centre which contains 3 flow riders. This is what Zim and the other kids tried. They were taught how to surf on the artificial waves which are generated by flow rider machine. For beginners, the water flow speed is moderate to suit their needs. The other two flow riders are much stronger and are for the more skillful players. See the video.
