Someones got too much damn time and money on their hands. Looks like some rich kids pet project. Its built out in the boonies and 90% of the Australian population lives near the coast where the ocean is, which surfing is free, and the waves are huge. Good luck getting enough customers to fund the cost to run that machine and maintain the pool unless you charge them 10k a day to use it.

Sounds like an Imperial Walker - an AT-AT! Ha! Kind of scary looking though!

small ass waves

Make 15 foot waves, and maybe it’s worth it

Only if you have stand up in the tube skills.

Buy fuel from carbon extractors in Canada. Otherwise it looks like more smoke and soot in a puddle!. PS1 photographer one Surfer and he still gets in the way LOL

How many kWh to make a wave like that? 10,000?

How many wierdos will scream pollution? This is amazing!!get outta ur labs and go shred

Just to surf? right? to surf?

tom7865 - 6 years ago

Surfing only works in the ocean. Everything else is a simulation.

There's so much more to surfing when the ocean is involved

tom7865 - 6 years ago

+a.m. remorse they can both come exist I just think that regarding people who are learning to surf - I think it's important to "cut your teeth" in an ocean not a pool. Not sure why these pools bother me but they do

a.m. remorse - 6 years ago

Why can't both coexist? They both have their weaknesses. You sound like a religious nut job.

James Lowe - 6 years ago

This looks a million times better than the plough type wave pools. C'mon let's have them built in every town and city across the world!

that sound gives me such star wars vibes

cool. Bodyboard heaven.. How long to reset the plunger?

The only place in Austrália that you can surf without the risk of being kill by an dangerous animal

now i want to see it go on for more than 2 waves

Rod - 6 years ago

This is a good one https://vimeo.com/256710737 I was invited to do tests

Rod - 6 years ago

Well, the concept did not work for surf. Too small, too short, about 20 minutes to the water stabilize. What is the purpose of this? Kids have fun under $80/20 Minutes? ok so it work!

Pawel Szewczuk - 6 years ago

Love IT!

1982mako224 - 6 years ago

The problem I see is the reset time for the pool to calm back down. The waves in this video are probably the first of the day or the first after a 5 to 10 minute calm down period for the water to glass off.

John Rokam - 6 years ago

nice but instead australia should stop oppressing Aborigines, pay them compensations and give them back their land!

That left spits!

Some observations as a long time observer of artificial waves with experience in prototyping new inventions:

- Until human civilization can casually use orders of magnitude more power than what we're using now, this is likely to be the pinnacle in wave generating technology. A balance of "low" operating costs, quantity and quality of waves, and endless potential for customer customization, this appears to be the ultimate in artificial wave generation. Pipeline replica, anyone? To this new prototype and the perseverance to see it through, I say: Well done lads!
- As a prototype, I'm seeing only half of the reef setup in action, 3 surfers in action. Which begs the question: could one conceivably build half a lake with half a plunger, to sacrifice half a lake and get less waves overall to create bigger waves using the same amount of power?
-Oh and for those complaining about that failed drop-in by Parko, well that's what happens when you surf either Occy's Peak or the slab that looks to be the reef designed for spongers. :)

Looks like a really short wave. Cool but not much of a ride for all that equipment.

that's some steampunk shit right there

David Swaney - 6 years ago

Ok, that was sick, conceptually and actually.

Lewis Beckman - 6 years ago

There’s enough solar energy out there to power it too.

Alex "i have done the research" Jones - 6 years ago

+Lewis Beckman my point was solar isnt as efficient as people say it is regardless location, and if I have to explain what comparing your intellect to a houseplant means then the statement is more true than I realized.

Alex "i have done the research" Jones - 6 years ago

+dipza3 gboogiet *how

dipza3 gboogiet - 6 years ago

+Alex "i have done the research" Jones the dude just made a general statement and you got all brainzo on him.. research ho not to be a knob!

dipza3 gboogiet - 6 years ago

+Alex "i have done the research" Jones you knob

Lewis Beckman - 6 years ago

If I’m digging myself a deep hole here I’ll be very curious to discover how.

Lewis Beckman - 6 years ago

Should I have not commented that because of its location, solar powering of the machine may be a potential option?

Lewis Beckman - 6 years ago

I don’t understand what I did here. What does “the IQ as a houseplant” mean?

Alex "i have done the research" Jones - 6 years ago

+Lewis Beckman yeah your sheer stupidity got to me that much... Get over yourself, you don't have that much sway over others.

The first one was sarcasm seeing as you have the IQ as a houseplant.

Lewis Beckman - 6 years ago

Alex "i have done the research" Jones I don’t know what power they’re using, but it could be solar if they wanted it to be. Calm down.

Alex "i have done the research" Jones - 6 years ago

Oh yeah? Then why the fuck do we use nuclear and and coal plants if it's so easy to pull power from the fucking sun?

Bronze Whaler - 6 years ago

I could absolutely see one of these in Vegas, surrounded by Polynesian landscape. Pumping out sets of waves all day. The place would make a killing.

MrVerscharren - 6 years ago

+Bronze Whaler epic!

Bronze Whaler - 6 years ago

Did I mention, as soon as you ride your last wave in there's someone waiting to hand you a Mai Tai?

MrVerscharren - 6 years ago

If you proceed with an idea like this...dont forget me

now make one x500 times bigger. dont argue just do it!

Ben Armstrong - 6 years ago

I got a turbo on my 87 civic they can use.

Wayne Neylan - 6 years ago

Now that looks interesting, l'm thinking that it could only make 2-3 ' swell so thats were it gets boring right, l truly hope its 15' deep were the doughnut drops so at least the swell has some solid power, great concept though, would it work better if the doughnut spun around with a blade that pushed the line of swell out from the centre, maybe not hmmmm...... Giddyup

endwido - 6 years ago

It’s 30metres deep hey

Daniel Baird - 6 years ago

Wayne Neylan there's an article on Surfline about it and they are targeting 8 ft waves for the "pro" section. It has 5 distinct breaks around the device.

Constantine Colotiline - 6 years ago

Why do you need a wave generator in Australia??? Doesn’t every Australian have a surf spot like in one hour around?

Lewis Beckman - 6 years ago

Short answer, no. Long answer, yes, but it’s virtually never any good and north of the Tropic of Capricorn is doesn’t break at all. You also need a culture to support/drive the building of such infrastructure.

xwhite2020 - 6 years ago

Its all about real estate and holiday resorts. Look up '' the white shoe brigade". This is simply a piece of a large land and hotel sale. The geographical area has no outstanding features so they build this to create some sort of appeal.

Scott McHattan - 6 years ago

+Constantine Colotiline Plus sharks and jellyfish to contend with...but not in a lake...

Constantine Colotiline - 6 years ago

Puss N' Boots practice. Now I get it, thanks.

Puss N' Boots - 6 years ago

Well there's lots of surfers and waves are inconsistent. These set ups are great for practice. Makes total sense from a sporting point of view.

WTF?? Where is this?

Rhidian D - 6 years ago

I love the variety of artificial waves there are already. Kelly's long, sled driven set-up, texas' system (no idea how that one works), and now this madness!

Deep State Globalist Games - 6 years ago

Texas uses chambers half filled with water and pressurized. They get set off in any combination making for a variety of waves. You can see it clearly if you look up a video by American wave systems that's a 1/10 scale model. I prefer Texas over the sled driven

long story short they just pull a huge plow along a train track.
