YouTube Video Description↓

Well guys, I DID IT! I went on the FlowRider onboard Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas. It was absolutely terrifying but so much fun. We were only cruising to France, Belguim and the Netherlands which meant that the weather was really cold. It was around 15c which is around 70f. Asides from being cold and terrifying it was a lot of fun, I even managed to make it to my knees (on my first go!) which I am really happy about.
