I was on the way to Tagaytay City when we took the route of Molino road and then we encountered a traffic jam in an intersection that connects the highway to Daang Hari, then I spotted this billboard and a construction site nearby.
I read the sign
Surf’s Up
”A new surfing playground will soon hit Molino”
Then I saw the logo of Season’s Mall.
I’m not sure what it is, or it could be a come on signage so that people can visit the mall. But I gave a big guess that they might introduce that indoor surfing playground powered by jet motor that splashes out water in a small pool.
I just saw that in one of the episode of Amazing Race Asia, there’s that theme park in Singapore that offers surfing training with jet powered water blower or splasher.
I know we have a resort in Cainta that offers surfing lessons and training in a wave simulation pool, but the surfing style and waves are much more aggressive in an indoor surfing with jet splashers.
To end my speculation, I did a Google-fu and then I found the official website of Season’s Mall.

Then I learned that they really are bringing a new surfing activity in the heart of Molino..wohooh
the mall is located in my back yard, I’m so excited to try surfing.
From their website --- “Seasons Molino is a 25,778 sq. meter property currently under construction and expected to be completed by March 2014. A sub-urban outdoor mall that offers exciting options for every individual. The mall\’s open-air architecture contributes to a greener environment by utilizing less demand for energy and materials. Prospective leaseholders include both local and international establishments.”
Then about the surfing… they call it Flow riding… They acquired Flow House of Bangkok to set up the surfing park for Season’s Mall
here’s an info about Flow House’s flow riding attraction
”It is a multi-faceted, revenue-generating destination that epitomizes fun in the local flavor. At the heart of FlowHouse™ is the FlowRider®, the original and most advanced jet powered sheet wave. A FlowHouse can be indoors, outdoors or a combination of the two. The FlowHouse™ offers surfing on the FlowRider as a revenue generator through ride ticket sales, lessons, competitions, parties, events and as entertainment for restaurant and retail outlets. It is a place where people can surf, eat, drink, or just hang out, and is the mechanism that brings the beach lifestyle to virtually any location.” (info from their website)
