Surfing indoors typically requires an open-face waterbed and a high-powered hair dryer, but not at Surf Xtreme. The recreation center’s automated surf simulator, the FlowRider, creates the illusion of surfing with shallow, fast-moving water, which flows at speeds of up to 30 mph. Constructed of a trampoline-like material, the floor cushions falls as effectively as the marshmallow floors of Candy Land’s retirement homes, and CPR-certified attendants ensure surfers cruise safely through the ride’s heated waters.

For a break from aquatic shenanigans, guests can bound about the 2,400-square-foot trampoline area that flanks the simulator. Kids and adults can cavort with unrestrained glee, ricocheting off the walls bordered by protective padding. Youngsters can also take to the paintball field, whose customizable bunkers can be configured for games of Capture the Flag or Last Man Standing. Alternatively, canvas-painting classes and parties are available for kids of all ages, and their "All the Wave" kids makeover salon and spa means every girl (or boy) can be transformed into the theme of their choice and go home with a goody bag and accessories.
