this is fantastic! …
this is fantastic! ye something is lost when you eliminate mother nature…it wont completely compare to all the elements coming together naturally ….wind, tides, swell direction and size, but not everyone has direct access to the surf. not everyone lives by the coast. and if you are lucky enough, you too will notice how crowds are increasing dramatically yet wave quality and quantity isn’t,(chesk out Mornington Peninsula to see what I mean). Wave pools are all good in my books!

@pan1pan1 To be honest I even enjoy the raging winter sea’s. Sometimes they can be just excellent even in places like Norfolk (England). But agreed, these types of pool’s are ruining the traditional “Surfing” however. If you’re a surfer and you move somewhere that has no surf then surely you and I both would go to these? Don’t get me wrong I love the real deal but i’d love to give these a try they seem a bit of fun if you have nothing to do and the swell is blown out !

Even if this worked …
Even if this worked on a larger scale pool it’s not the whole surfing experience and has no soul. There’s no effort and commitment in paddling out, no anticipation and excitment sat in the line up wonder what the next set will be like….no stoke. For me paddling out in freezing cold, blown out, raging winter sea’s makes the super clean, warm summer days all the sweeter, the good days with the bad it’s what surfing is about.

Officially put the …
Officially put the FL pool on hiatus after dumping all of their building budget into R & D to rework the design after they found out that this one doesnt work like they thought in a full scale size. Kerry Black doesn’t surf. If he did, he would know that you outrun this wave fast, needs much more area, bottlenecking the desing into a narrow end saves wave energy but makes the ride hella short. The ring is better idea, KSlater bought the rights to it, but expect years before seeing it anywhere

problem is it doesnt have the weight of the wave behind it pushing you forwards, instead it has the water pushing you back
