JCCC3: Surf Monkeys
I promise, I looked hard for an existing discussion on this topic. There have been some mentions from myself and others in generic threads, but not much. So... here's a thread dedicated to the topic. You will find that I am quite interested in the Flowrider, and you are welcome to laugh about that.
#1 I can't reserve Flowrider Lessons on the RCI site. Is it already fully booked? Is the JoCo group blocked from this? Is the thing broken? I have asked RCI both on the phone and email, and could not get an answer at all.
#2 @drrock422 mentioned in another thread the ability to have a group reservation. I would definitely be interested in this. Anyone else? Is it even possible?
#3 @JoCo is not seen surfing the Flowrider in the site inspection video Zamboni Punch. Why? Did he try, but the footage is too damaging to his ego? Are the lines too long and you decided not to push the kids away whilst saying "Step aside, we're making a video here."
#4 Should I have asked about this stuff on the Site Inspection thread? Yes.

When we first asked, RCI was reluctant to reserve us a particular slot exclusively for Sea Monkeys, due to its "one at a time" nature and limited time it's available while at sea. That said, if you we're to organize a specific group of 10 or 20 people (or whatever), we would be happy to ask them again. (It might make a difference if we have a specific group with a specific number of people)
Re: Jonathan on the Flowrider: some things are not fit for human eyes. (Also, when they were filming, I believe the line was too long and there was too much other footage to get)

ETA: I was assuming stand-up surfing. I'd still be interested in boogie boarding but less enthusiastic.
Also, booking this ahead of time is only a possibility, and booking on board could happen instead. I'd still like to gauge the interest in a (likely paid) group reservation of the Flowrider. Let's say we end up with 20 Surf Monkeys. We could pwn the Flowrider for 2 hours at about $35 each, using the price quoted above... which sounds reasonable.

These rides should keep their hands to themselves. No means no!
