Flow-Riders - Good Thing? Bad Thing?

The action for the O'Neill Highland Open by Swatch is a little slow today owing to Brims being uncharacteristically lacklustre. However, things can change rapidly here so hopefully the contest will be called on again at 5.00pm.  Here are a couple of nice shots from yesterday.

Meanwhile, I hear that top Welsh surfer Gwen Spurlock might be about to sue Swansea Leisure Centre over an injury she sustained while riding its new flow-rider. Apparently she suffered a serious head injury, though according to this link the leisure centre say they've heard nothing about it. Does anyone have an update on this?

Flow-riders look deceptively perilous to me but here's some footage of one of Gwen's comrades from the Welsh surfing scene, Beth Mason, getting to grips with the one in Swansea.
