FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hollywood, Fla. – May 14, 2018 – Extreme fun demands passion and persistence. Add to that, a great deal of personality and there is little surprise that Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort’s two lead FlowRider® instructors placed first in their respective categories during the 2018 FLOW (Flowboarding League of the World) Tour. The event took place at Rapids Water Park in West Palm Beach on Saturday, April 28, and marked the second stop for the national tour, drawing more than 70 competitors from around the country.

Nate Murray (pictured right) placed first in the Pro Rider division during this year’s event. Ranked number seven in the world, Murray has worked the FlowRider® Double at Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort for two years. A snowboarder since third grade, Murray’s adrenaline rushes escalated to skateboarding in middle school and blossomed after college with the discovery of flowboarding. “It’s a fun and challenging sport,” said Murray. “Working at the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort FlowRider® gives me the opportunity to teach guests and locals, sharing how much fun this sport can be!”

Charles Lisowsky (pictured left), competed for the first time and placed first in the Amateur division. “I was supposed to go boating one day, but the weather did not cooperate,” recounted Lisowsky. “I tried the FlowRider and instantly became obsessed!”

Lisowsky joined Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort soon after and has continued to hone his skills. “I teach adults and children about the sport, techniques and moves, so that they can improve and come back,” he added.

“Both Nate and Charles are exceptional athletes and are the essence of escapism and fun,” said Cate Farmer, Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort’s general manager. “They are the best of the best and their passion for the sport translates to inspiration for adventurers of all ages.” 

That includes seven-year-old Riley Binder. Riley has been taking lessons on the resort’s FlowRider® for the last four months and placed second in the Youth division at the same competition as his instructors. 

Resort guests and locals can experience extreme fun every day at Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort’s FlowRider® surf simulator experience where they can “hang ten” and ride the waves while enjoying some fun in the sun. Both resort guests and locals can take advantage of special offers throughout the summer season.
