HOW MANY WAVES WILL I GET?
- You are guaranteed 3-4 "priority" waves per hour. A "priority" wave means you are taking off at one end of the pool and riding it until you either fall, don't make the wave, or reach the other end of the pool. Typically, this will be 2 rights and 2 lefts. The wave is 50 seconds long!
- If it is not your turn to be in priority position, you will be put in a position to catch the wave should the rider on the wave not make the wave. This means you may get more than the 3-4 waves/hour if you're lucky.
- We can also vote to do a "split wave" format, where each priority rider only rides 1/2 of the wave and then turns it over to the next person in line. This will double everyone's wave count.
WHAT'S THE WATER AND AIR TEMPERATURE IN MID-DECEMBER?
- The air can fluctuate depending on the weather pattern. Average highs would be in the low-to-mid 60s, but can be cooler or warmer.
- Water temps likewise will fluctuate based on the weather leading up to our date. It could potentially be in the upper 40s, or if we're lucky, the upper 50s. Surf Ranch has wetsuits, booties and gloves for you to use if you don't have this type of gear at no extra charge.
CAN I RIDE SOMETHING OTHER THAN A BODYBOARD?
- While our focus is bodyboarding, feel free to bring any alternative craft you might want to try out. Surf Ranch has a full quiver of surfboards of all types that you can use at no charge.
WILL THERE BE PHOTOS AND VIDEO?
- Surf Ranch has several cameras positioned throughout the pool capturing different angles of every ride and they will email you a link with all your clips that you can download for personal use. Additionally, we will have a photographer there and shooting video ourselves to produce our own "Surf Ranch Roundup" video.
WHAT ELSE DO I GET FOR MY MONEY?:
- This is a five-star experience. Think "Four Seasons meets bodyboarding". It is an all-inclusive day that goes from 7am-7pm.
Included: Full breakfast, coffee, etc., snacks, lunch, dinner, awards, appetizers, open full bar all day, full use of Surf Ranch facilities including skateboards, ebikes, hot tub, fire pit, heat lamps, hot showers, etc.
- If you are breaking this down to "how much per wave", you are looking at it wrong. It is a full-day luxury experience with like-minded riders, full of cheers and jeers and epic camaraderie. You will never forget this day!
DO I NEED TO BE AN EXPERT TO RIDE?
- Absolutely not, but at least a competent level of riding would be recommended. This means the ability to catch a wave, hold your edge, and trim for speed along the wave will ensure you will have a great time. We don't recommend this one for beginners, but it's your decision.
HOW DO I GET TO THE SURF RANCH?
- Some of our guests fly in, most drive. If you don't live in SoCal, you can fly into LAX, Oakland, San Jose, or if you want to get close, Fresno. Obviously a rental car would be involved to get to the Surf Ranch from there.
- If you're driving from SoCal, I-5 over the Grapevine into the Central Valley, and then a turn off the 5 north of Bakersfield gets you there in 4-5 hours from most locations.
WHERE DO I STAY?
- We stay at the Tachi Palace Resort and Casino, which is only about 2 miles from Surf Ranch and there is a discount code for Surf Ranch guests. Rooms are decent and there's a small food court there. We go up the night before and stay the night after the Surf Ranch Roundup, leaving early the next day. There are also cheaper hotels/motels in Lemoore, about 10-12 minutes away.
CAN I BRING FAMILY AND FRIENDS?
- Yes, you can absolutely bring family and friends, but Surf Ranch charges $250 per person for non-surfing guests for the day to cover the cost of food and drink and all the amenities.
HOW DO I SECURE MY SPOT?
- Email us at: info@ebodyboarding.com
- We like payment via PayPal or Venmo and have special accounts for this. We are requiring a 50% deposit for riders to secure the slot.
- For single riders, you will pay $1,750.
- For riders sharing a slot with another person, you will pay $1,875.
- The balance will be due September 1st. You can also back out NO LATER THAN THIS DATE if you want a refund. If you back out after September 1st, YOU are responsible for filling your slot. If you can't, you won't get a refund! Just making sure that's CRYSTAL CLEAR!
