drmomsc Posted January 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Are prescription swim goggles allowed on the flow rider? I am dying to try the flow rider on our upcoming Oasis cruise, but I am blind as a bat. If I bought prescription goggles, would they allow them? TIA!

champagne123 Posted January 24, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 24, 2014 My son wore goggles. Why would they not be allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted January 24, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Depends on the activity people. Most likely not though. I don't think being blind is that critical to flow rider. If you can generally see shapes you will most likely be able to do the process. The flow rider is pretty straight forward, point the board downhill and ride. jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsail Posted January 24, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Don't know any reason why you can't. If you can't the staff person will hold them for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cebl Posted January 24, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 24, 2014 We were not allowed to wear them. They were not prescription goggles, but I don't know if that would make a difference. I didn't ask why. It could be to protect you, because you go flying pretty fast if you fall. Or maybe if they fall off and get sucked in, it could damage the system? Just guessing.

mbjboyle Posted January 25, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) The force of the water on the FlowRider is extremely strong - 25mph according to the manufacturer's website; http://www.waveloch.com/case-study/royal-caribbean-international. Anything that can be removed from one's body may come off while using the FlowRider:D:D.... Edited January 25, 2014 by mbjboyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
