About Super Surf Kata
Kata's surf simulator: a sheet of fast water over a soft slope where nearly everyone stands up after a few painless falls. Trainers hold first-timers on a rope, children are well looked after, and hour-long sessions can switch to a bodyboard. A bar, kitchen and evening DJ make it a place to watch as much as ride.
Also known as WAVA Flow Fit Fun
