It all started about plants filtering water on boathouse row.......I don't think any of us called anyone a name..?...... now you can go untwist your panties......

does the whitewater course in Charlotte sit on a river?OKC's boathouse row and finish line tower and upcoming facilities make it seem like a perfect fit for this relocation!Not to mention the OK river is already the site for the Olympic trainees.

I watched a video on it, and the facility looked all man made and contained. It seemed to be very scenic and in the hills............

I looked at the facility on Google Maps... Its very close to the river but it doesn't get water from the river.

I was just using it as a reference for saying, 'you crazy, bro', lol. If this was discussed in person at an okctalk meetup, there would be no harm no foul. Unfortunately, due to the lack of you not being able to see my laughing, you think its an injustice. Sorry if I offended.

OKCisOK4me is a good dude, every now and then we hash things out, no harm no foul......but no, crack or anything drug related is not my thing.....

Wow folks...so barges are equated to the type of boats that are able to go up the Mississippi now huh? I don't see any point in continuing that part of the conversation...obviously you don't understand the differences...depth/flow/etc.

Guys, get back to the subject, which is development along Boathouse Row.

[Rover]

Do we know what the new windscreens are going to look like?

[OKCisOK4me]

I saw a rendering once but who knows...

[bombermwc]

I thought part of the windbreak plan was to plan some trees at the top of the bank. There were also some poles with some fabric betwen them. Of course the stadium seeting had it's own cover if i remember right too.

[Pete]

About a month ago I saw a rendering for the windscreen framework and where it would be placed along the south shore.

I'm not sure they're to the point of actually designing the fabric part yet.

They didn't ask me but I would be in favor of a windscreen that can be taken down when it's not necessary.

How about a series of flag poles/lights that you could temporarily attach a mesh net from one to the other. They could be used and then stored remotely...that would keep them from the graffiti also.

It is not just wanted for events, it is wanted to be their for the several hundreds of people using it weekly; while their are less people out when the temperature is below 50 their are people who will row till the river is frozen. It is not like they will be able to flip a switch and it be up on a windy day, phase one of the windscreen is ten football fields long / 40 feet tall and their will be a second phase just as long coming later. Also it would be a significant labor cost to put up, take down, store and probably would add to the expenses of the components if designed to not be fixed.

I didn't say my idea was practical. LOL
I just said it was what I was in favor of.

Steve just tweeted that Sandridge is the title sponsor of the proposed Oklahoma River Youth Pavilion.

Great to see them getting behind more civic ventures and following the great lead set by Devon and Chesapeake.

Oklahoma River youth pavilion will be named for SandRidge Energy

A previously-announced youth pavilion planned at Regatta Park along the Oklahoma River will be named after SandRidge Energy, officials with the Oklahoma City Boathouse Foundation announced Friday.

Indoor surfing, WOW. It started out a triangular pavilion, now it looks like it is moving to be fully enclosed and has artificial surfing.

[wschnitt]

Where did that indoor surfing picture come from? Sources?

[Pete]

It's in Steve's article from today's Oklahoman.

Excellent, now us surfers that are landlocked have an outlet. I've used indoor surfing facilities in California in the winter months and it's a blast. It bruises you up good when you fall though. Glad we are getting one in OKC.

[OKCisOK4me]

That's awesome!

Metro, it would be pretty hard for me to get down there (breathing problems), but, if this gets done and you name the time that you will be trying this out, I'll do my very best to be present and take some pics of you doing your thing on the indoor surfing deal.

This is a very good thing for SandRidge to do, and I was impressed that the amount its contribution was not disclosed so as not to be tooting its horn ...

Is SandRidge in danger of becoming a nice corporate "person?"
