Kinda a lame and boring idea for a surf contest. Its nothing like reading a wave or putting yourself in the right spot/section for sets. It looks way to easy/repetative and I can't be impressed with such an easy set up. Though I would still love to try it!! But of course you need a lot of $$$ to surf it lol... So thats why we will only see pros and rich kooks on them...

Hi-ya,
Wonderful video!
have a great day :)

BLACK05GO1 - 7 years ago

Surfers looked limited by the size and shape of the peak. It takes away the surfers ability to anticipate the wave's characteristics down the line and know where to smash the lip or launch and air, etc. It's better than nothing but not a very good wave.

sicDaVid - 7 years ago

Slater's surf ranch has a perfect wave. He perfected the tech and cleaned up his pool. This was first but they jumped too soon.

SMaze17 - 7 years ago

Is this place open to the public? There's absolutely zero info about this on the website.

SMaze17 yes it is opened to public but costs a small fortune but at least your guaranteed waves. It’s in snowdonia ,Wales , United Kingdom

i have an i ideia not expensive. Do you belive if it works? the ideia is this: in a lagoon. You cut a big rock in the format of triangle. Then you hoist (move to up) the rock with a car... 10 meters + or -... then cut the steel cable. The triangle rock will hatch in the water and a big wave will forming. But we will have a good wave if the format is a tringle

Its like a wave with no spirit.
Water is alive with differnt types of energy, Guya or Mother earth spirit.
When you surf this wave and you feel like somthing is missing, its the spirit of the wave. Its dead.

philip lavelle - 7 years ago

to prov ide some historical perspective, I had the opportunity to surf in what I believe was the first wave pool (in Tempe, Arizona around 1969 or '70)...a large hydraulic "plunger" at the base of a large fake lava rock wall produced a large surge of closed-out whitewash that re-formed to become a small lined-up wall that was ridden "straight off" by about a dozen land-locked longboarders....very gratified to see we've come such a long way toward such a desireable alternative (tho Mother Ocean will always hold the fondest spot in our collective heart...)

Red Bull has done NOTHING for sport only steal true athletes identities and personal equipment then using blackmail to "sponsor" the athlete. this is SICK and has been personally reported to James Comey himself, by me.
And, I am NOT a Russian Hacker!

Kinda takes away from the talent of being able to read the waves. But it's still sick

b - 8 years ago

I think its awsome that they can make something to replicate a wave but nothing will be like being in the ocean with white water breaking and the friends in the water and everyone having fun and just great times all together in the water. I do think its awesome becasue the wave is so perfect like the one in france its amazing how clean that wave is but the ocean is just so awesome nothing can be like the real thing. It may be better but you might get bored in just plain old lake water its not like the ocean the ocean is alive.

Divinecomics - 7 years ago

I read his pool is somewhere in San Joaquin valley. Couldn't they just have bigger pumps or turbines to increase the size? Who knows they didn't release the plans or the design or blueprints.

They need to engineer something that pushes 10 foot smokin barrels with long thick sections in it.

now look up kelly`s wave on youtube... that`s the best artificial wave at this moment

Arthur Turner - 8 years ago

Amazing as always!

Jahkgdm - 8 years ago

Add a side wave = more powerful wedging barrel similar to The Wedge in Newport. Shorter wave but more bang for the buck plus an air section would be more exciting. Also, would use less space.

I went back and watched the video again and the waves at the end of the video were smaller and a little slower. I kind of don't mind watching mello rides. Like golf surfing.

Walter Marlin - 9 years ago

Maybe put some color on the poles? The best part of the break was near the poles. I never seen a wave pool so powerful. I bet the break can be extended. The wave might be a little more low action for learners.

This is the future of competitive surfing. Equal waves, equal opportunities. Let the best surfer win. And hopefully they pop up all over the world in every city and Ill be alone in the ocean again!!!

Audiostoke - 8 years ago

Yeah i hope it works that way too but im abit afraid it might work in the opposite way, brining more people to ocean line ups looking for bigger waves who haven't any ocean knowledge, aloha spirit, surf etiquette or paddle fitness.

Was it too much to ask to see one wave from beginning till end instead of snippets for the sake of selling the video?

It's amazing how surfing was responsible for the invention of the skateboard, and now more than half a century later surfers are doing tricks invented by skateboarders/ing. It's beautiful how one amazing passion can accidentally spawn another amazing passion, and then for that passion to come full circle and inspire the originating passion to progress.

+Digital Freedom man is nature also so if we make something that's beautiful it's still going to be as fun, just a different experience.

caleedium - 9 years ago

+eric Burtron Yeah, totally agree with you there man. It's useful for people who r further inland like me but it will never overtake ocean surfing. It's easier to see everyone surfing if ur in the crowds though.

adndressurf - 9 years ago

+Digital Freedom Surf with resin, epoxi, and foam contradicts even more

eric Burtron - 9 years ago

yeah, but one hell of a consistent two peaks

skooli2 - 9 years ago

+eric Burton Agreed. After having to move to the mainland from Hawaii, I'd take a wave pool session right now. The only real issue I see with it is that it's two little peaks for every surfer within 100 miles.

Herman Melville - 9 years ago

+Digital Freedom For competition purposes it creates an interesting challenge seeing as that everyone gets mechanically identical waves. Makes it a pure style contest. Granted I don't see it as any kind of replacement for traditional open water competitions, but it's a nice change of pace and I'd prefer it over some of the shitty beach break they force the pros to surf at times.

eric Burtron - 9 years ago

I understand what you're saying, and as long as I'm on the islands I'll surf in the ocean, but in my opinion the spirit of surfing is as much about having fun as it is about having a connection to the ocean. This form of surfing isn't ever gonna replace proper surfing, but let the landlocked mainlanders have some fun.

How does this work

Aint1S - 9 years ago

there's something similar to a snowplow being towed up and down the pool. it starts the bump, instead of water rushing up on a natural shelf or ledge etc.
there's about to be the world's largest in Austin, Tx and luckily that's close to me. sadly, my skill is building massive amounts of speed for airs from years of traveling the gulf more than both the east and west coast combined... I'll probably be the first to hit the wall... breaking just another board.
