A little update from us. Our cable will be closed for now while we work through a VFD failure and figure out the best solution to get everything back up and running the right way. We’ve had intermittent issues with it all season and at this point has become more frequent and impossible to bandaid any longer.

We know this isn’t the news anyone wants to hear, especially this time of year, but we’d rather take the time to fix it properly than rush into a temporary solution and end up right back in the same spot.

We’re already working on it and will keep everyone updated as soon as we know more.

Thanks for being patient with us and for always supporting Flip Side. We’re hoping to have you back on the water behind the cable as soon as we can.

Vessel rentals at both location will still be available from 12-5 Saturdays and Sundays, so we still have you covered if you just need a relaxing day in the water.

Unfortunately cable will be closed Sunday 9/13. We have parts on order that should arrive in time to re open next weekend. We will let everyone know when it’s back up and spinning! 🤙🏽

Vessel rentals at both locations will still run from 12-5 so you’ll still be able to get some time on the water before the weekends over!

It’s that time of year again, we’re flipping into our end-of-season hours!

Starting today, we’ll be open 12–5 at both location through the end of October!

The days might be getting shorter, but there’s still plenty of riding left. Come squeeze in some laps and enjoy the water while you still can!

The lake is way too nice to just look at from shore!

Come take a kayak, paddleboard, canoe or pedal boat out and make it an afternoon! We’ve got 2 locations at 2 different lakes to explore, with plenty of vessels ready to go at both.

And if the Aqua Park is on your list, this is the last weekend to get out there. After Labor Day, it’s coming down for the season.

We’re open today and Labor Day from 10am–6pm. Pick a lake and spend some time on the water with us!

Last weekend for the Aqua Park!

We’re open Saturday, Sunday, and Labor Day Monday from 10–6. After Monday, the Aqua Park comes down for the season, so this is your last chance to get out there this year.

Come get one more session in before we pack it up!

Labor Day weekend is the last one for the Aqua Park!

We’ll be open Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10-6. Cable and vessel rentals will continue for the rest of the season, but Monday is officially the last day for the Aqua Park until next May!

We’ve got three more days to make the most of it. Come ride, hit the Aqua Park, or just spend the day on the water with us.

See y’all this weekend 🤙

Both location will close a little early today for our annual staff appreciation day! We’ve had a great staff this season and think they deserve to have a little fun in the sun as well! We will still be open to the public from 10am-3pm, with the last vessels going by out at 2pm. Come out before we close, enjoy the water, and thank a staff member for all they do!

Summer’s going way too fast 😭

After this weekend, there are only 3 weekends left to get out on the Aqua Park before it comes down for the season after Labor Day.

We’re open weekends only from 10–6! Grab the kids, grab some friends, and come spend a couple hours climbing, sliding, jumping, and probably getting launched into the lake.

We’ll keep it up through Labor Day weekend, then that’s a wrap until next season.

Come get a few more lake days in while you still can 🤙

We’ve got one last surprise for the season…

As we move into weekends only, we figured we’d give you another reason to come out and ride. We just added another UNIT feature to the course, this time a double sided kicker!

It’s a little smaller than the XL, so if the XL has felt a little too much, this one should be perfect for getting started on. It’ll also be a good one for learning new tricks and getting them dialed before taking them bigger on the XL.

Come give it a hit this weekend 🤘

Hard to believe summer is already winding down.

This is our last week being open during the week before everyone heads back to school. If you’ve been meaning to come out, now’s the time.

Starting next week, we’ll only be open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 AM to 6 PM.

We’ve still got a few more days to get out on the water, so come ride, hit the Aqua Park, rent a kayak or paddleboard, or just enjoy one more summer day with us.

See y’all out here.
