Wow so big never heard of it. Sounds like a gasp for attention the money into each wave will not last unless world wide tournaments are a regular thing. But is it reliable and large enough for that to sustain it could bring a different side of surfing but looks like a money pit.

The broadest value in these repeatable wave machines is not so much in contests as in BOARD DESIGN

Scott Gorman - 5 years ago

Been surfing 50 years and as all surfers know some rides only last seconds to maybe 1/2 minute. Natural waves one has to make instantaneous decisions as the bottom changes, that is what makes it so freaking awesome. Now I'd love to give Kelly's wave a shot...2 minute plus rides...yea but I'm not one of the elites. Oh well I'll have to deal with some more of King Neptunes attitude. Pray for surf folks.

I am a road cyclist, and my sport has seen the exact same thing happen in 2018. It's the rise of the indoor trainer. You're sitting on a normal bike, with an electronic resistance machine instead of a back wheel, and you're racing and training in a virtual world. There's a huge debate if you can be a good cyclist without dealing with the team strategy, bike handling, line choice, and drafting as you do in the real world. Just interesting how similar these things are.

Carter Chapman - 5 years ago

I see this as a parallel to skateboarding in a way. Skaters who can only skate skateparks because they’re perfectly built vs street skaters who can adapt and over come the flaws, I.E the ocean is a better test of ones abilities because it’s more difficult

j f - 5 years ago

As a realist i have to admit, whatever argument against this comes up, at the end the surfer with the most hours on this wave is the best surfer!

Maximilian Henke - 5 years ago

I am currently dealing with a start-up that tries really hard to get people investing in its energy storage technology, although its very promising and - to be honest - extremely necessary due to the transition to renewable energy.
So they are struggling but this wave creation stuff is made real.

I am not critising sports but shouldn't focus a little bit more on the stuff that is necessary to sustain humain life on this planet?

David Gough - 5 years ago

Agreed. But when people lose interest in nature they don't care to protect it. Earth is to be played in and loved. Naturesports are a cultural doorway into sustainability. Beauty is underrated as a legit and necessary value. Good onya for your noble efforts.

Surf spots are generally overcrowded. Open source the bottom contours so we can build quality surf breaks in the ocean.(no sandbag follies) and let nature supply the energy.

David Gough - 5 years ago

Solve beach erosion: why not dissipate wave energy in the graduated form of peeling breakers? Nonsurfers are not qualified to be coastal engineers.

K H - 5 years ago

At the end of the day, it is still a wave pool. Just have fun

hyperbomb02 - 5 years ago

I think Slater's wave will be absolutely pivotal to growing surf competitions. Surf comps have never been a viewer friendly affair, unless you were in person. But surf competitions have never been "the surf experience", I've done 2 when I was much younger, and they are just as hectic as William describes feeling when he was getting ready to drop in on this wave. When you are out there with friends, or at the end of a long day, every wave is good. Your last wave almost always feels like the best wave you've ever surfed, until you catch your next one. Whether that be a little off set wave that you catch to past the time, or when you paddle out and wait for the next set to roll in. That's surfing, it's why 5 year olds and 90 year olds enjoy it equally. It's not a test of physical merit or ability. This wave isn't recreating that experience, but as Slater said, it's definitely creating an environment of pure skill... which ultimately is what competition is about.
I watched this comp on TV and loved it, as did everyone else in the bar it accidentally came on in. No one had seen a comp like this before, non-surfers were watching. The main effect is I wanted to go surfing. I welcome our new perfect competition wave overlords.

4xYotax4 - 5 years ago

Are you kidding? The wave pool "comps" are the most boring things I've ever seen. Surfing is fun to watch because it is dynamic.

CAOH - 5 years ago

Being 55 and grown-up surfing in San Clemente I find the machine and the wave interesting, but it lacks the ecstatic environment - sometimes surfing is the adventure of just getting there, being there at the right moment, being in the right spot on the right set. I don't surf anymore, but that desire and feeling are just as intoxicating just thinking about it - I truly miss it with all my heart! I just don't think you can manufacture the energy and the feeling the ocean gives - many many pleasure moments rush through my mind just writing this!

jeff spicoli - 5 years ago

this will indefinitely progress the sport to new levels, don't think of it as a way of killing the soul of surfing. I can't wait to surf the pool. Nothing compares or substitutes for the ocean, so just think of it as a place that exists in the valley where humans have artificially created surfing, nothing more.

TommyZ DoesStuff - 5 years ago

After Slater's wave people will want an artificial wave for awhile. But then want an organic wild wave soon after

its cool now after skateboarding we can have surfing in the Olympics, ?.

Jeremiah Alphonsus - 5 years ago

This sterile, soulless wave pool is part of wretched modern man’s war against God, at the core of which is a war on the natural order. Thus the push to normalize insanity such as “transgender,” sodomite “marriage,” feminized men and manly women, and all the rest of today’s inversion of nature—including this wave pool.

The philosophicaly astute will see the truth of my words. The conformed herd—often identifiable today by their pitiful tattoos—will wonder what the fuss is all about.

Are you an atheist and thus reject all this? Or are you “spiritual but not religious”? Then you’re a total conformist in today’s wretched world.

Tosh Hosk - 5 years ago

Kevin Jansen - 5 years ago

Having been to the wave pool and experienced a few contests there, I believe wave pools will be to surfing what skateparks are to skating. Not a replacement just a place to surf with regularity and not have to worry about whether or not there will be waves. I think this pool and the one in texas will advance the sport, but no matter what is done in either, especially as far as airs go, it won't be legitimized until done in the ocean.

That being said it's mind blowing to watch a surf contest that felt like a legitimate sporting event.

Antitheses Pistopheles - 5 years ago

+Jeremiah Alphonsus I see what you are saying, but I would not compare this wave pool to “transgender,” sodomite “marriage,” feminized men and manly women, which are all degenerate Marxist viruses created for the purpose of destruction. This pool was born of a deep creative urge and could also be seen as yet another marvel of the European mind. If you condemn this pool then you must condemn the wheel.

Paula S - 5 years ago

Sorry, I disagree. It is Perfect for competition. Because each competitor of any category is performing on the 'Identical" type of wave -- Like comparing oranges to oranges -- or like comparing apples to apples. No one can say that the winners "got better waves" than the non-winners.

Brad Burkley - 6 years ago

Not a fan of the New Yorker, to be honest. And further, I wanted to be dismissive the whole clip. But I smiled and couldn't stop. Surfing since 12, and same age as KS, the truth is, a day will come where surfing and surfing in the ocean will be polarized. Just as nature and human nature have become. Still connected. A biblical proportion umbilical.

AJ Amorelli - 6 years ago

Kelly never meant for this to replace the ocean, and it doesn't, it's just a super awesome place to train, or go to commercially once they start opening public ones. As a surfer I think it's totally rad; and it will never replace the magic of the ocean.

Norman Oro - 6 years ago

Great clip. Kelly Slater made the perfect wave. As William Finnegan indicates, I don't know that there's any surfer who wouldn't want to surf that wave. I haven't paddled out regularly in a long time, but I would love to surf a wave like that; and I think it's true that if you've taken your lumps and you've had to conquer fear sometimes surfing, it makes that wave even more special. I think if you grow up surfing just that perfect wave without any unpredictability or danger, that's fine. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I think you're blessed actually. However, it might not be as special for you because you never had to deal with shivering in the water to surf mush (and being genuinely thankful you got to surf those mushy waves), going over the falls, getting your bell rung on a closeout, getting caught inside, having to take off just in front of a bunch of rocks during low tide, getting bounced on the reef, etc.

I would live on Mars if Kelly's machine was there (also imagine the air's in low gravity) but if there's one thing I would change it would be a grid of water compartments under the lining which could be quickly be filled/emptied and so give the ability to mess with perfection and keep you on your toes once again. You just hit 'shuffle' on the Ranch iPod and hey presto, you never surf the same wave twice!

Joe Porcello - 6 years ago

It would be amazing to go. Too bad Kelly doesn't open it to the public. N if you were to rent it it'd be 5 figures

+J B No, riding a wave is the key ingredient of surfing! I'm glad you like all the trappings around it, but they are not the essence.

It's the same with skiing/snowboarding. The people in a man-made terrain park are looked down on by some in-bound riders, who are looked down on by riders who reach the peak by back-country cat, snowmobile, or heli, while some ski mountaineers feel they are the only ones who truly earned their turns. It's all good.
