Surf Lakes | Australia's First Wave Pool

Watch Mark Occhilupo, Barton Lynch, Joel Parkinson, Ben Player and friends test the first waves produced at Surf Lakes, an artificial surf pool located in Yeppoon, Queensland, Australia. The wave pool is only working at half capacity. Engineers believe that the system - named "5 Waves" - will be able to produce ripples in the eight-foot range.

Okay I've read some of the comments and yes like all the wave pools these waves are small, well this one's waves are the smallest I've seen. I'm kind of dumbfounded that the people that build these things act confused why people get bored watching them. Until you can make double overhead square barrels it's a waste of time. I'm sure they're all fun to actually surf (well this one looks like grovelers but most do look fun). I just don't get it, we've had wave pools for yearrrrrrrrrrrs but the main reason you'd want to make one is to have sickies right there in the pool. It's like they keep missing the whole point over and over again?

What about the bottom ? Is it permanent or sand or what? If sand i guess constantly having redredge or reshape it would be quite a maintenance problem. That;s the whole problem with natural breaks - not that there isn't swell but sand,mud or other non permanent tends to form itself naturally so that it's just closed out, no quality waves.

I live about 20 minute drive from this wave pool but it's not open to the public. A lady I work with, her husband help design it. This will soon be pulled down and taken away, it was only built to see if it was going to work properly and they are going to build them around the world but as fate would have it we don't get one --- why I ask --- since it is already built why not just leave it there ?????

If this wave was a little bigger it would be really cool because it looks less man made than Kelly’s wave pool. Don’t get me wrong Kelly’s wave pool is cool but just looks really unnatural. The one in Texas seems more natural looking. And tho this one and the Texas one are not as big as Kelly’s I would rather ride these because they look like I’m actually surfing a wave and there is a little bit of variation in the waves.

What is it blowing out? Diesel fumes? Seems stupid if that is the case, I don't see how anything of this nature is even vaguely cost effective in Australia given fossil fuel prices, in the US at least they can plug a wave pool into clean nuclear energy.

This thing is fucking genius... Good form on the innovation. You just crank up the 50 tonne plug and then drop it. Fucking beautiful. Great innovation. If there is one thing that is becoming loud and clear, it is the fact, that we need more waves. We need 50 of these in each state.

Couple decades ago the talk was on artificial reefs in public oceans. Plenty of free($)natural swells(carbon free), just manipulate the sea floor for good wave action.
Seems they canned that idea for the capitalist "pay to play" agenda.

'' At full commercial capacity, 5 Waves can produce up to 2,400 waves per hour, allowing for up to 200 surfers and learners each hour. This productivity translates into the highest possible return for operators.

Also, the five different levels of waves allows for a wide variety of watercraft. The Intermediate wave is perfect for short boards, long boards, SUPs and surf skis. The Advanced and Expert waves suit short boards and knee boards.

5 Waves world firsts

Simultaneous wave types: 5 types of waves, each of which vary in difficulty, size, length and shape, at the same time
Most breaks in a wavepool: 10 separate waves (4 left and 4 right reef breaks) plus 2 beginner waves
Largest surfing lagoon in the world: Water volume 80 megaliths
Largest wave face height: Up to 2.4m face height. 2.2m achieved at mid-level prototype testing
Highest wave productivity: At full commercial capacity, 5 Waves will be able to produce over 2,400 waves per hour, allowing up to 240 surfers in the lake at the same time, all catching 10 waves per hour ''

We are NOT impressed.
Hurt me!!!!!!
You can get more fun in real salt water for free at your most average beach break.
The Californian and Texas wave pools at least offer manufactured perfection for the chlorine addicts.
This is just..........(struggling for an adjective here)........LAME!

So check this...
Combo Kellys wave with the Venus Project city design and you get...
24 perfect waves wrapping the circle city water belt all day every day every city. This would keep all the water moving while backfilling with clean, treated water. The 24 sleds would need to reverse direction every hour so that the lazy river doesnt get going to fast.

That big thing in the middle that bobs up and down creating the swell should have more of a bib to it more of an angle it would create a stronger swell

+Peejay Em I'm just stating the obvious from what I see. It needs to grab more water. Just because they plug millions and studied how to create waves doesnt mean it will be the efficient. It looks pretty gutless there so we will see.

this one can output waves much faster, doesnt need maintenence every session and is only operating on 1/4 strength right now if what i read online is correct

Amazing achievement really. Of all the people in the world who surf, it takes a Central Queensland mining engineer to come up with one that looks like it has legs for Joe Blow surfers. Proved the concept. Imagine the market in land locked places with high populations? From an old bloke's perspective, this is appealing the thought of booking some reliable waves without too much paddling. Like an intermediate ski run on man made snow.
