Make Waves not War

Wonder if it's somewhat eco powered fair amount of energy required I guess, add some wind fans for cross off wavesailing, have a combined mega surfing contest from esky lids to SUP to wavesailing all covered in one day over a week. Guaranteed conditions, day or night to get sponsors frothing, not so sure would work so well with kites maybe they would need a few more fans or just add a tow surfing cable park/rig overhead for them to dangle as they jump .... sorry boost as they say on the way back thru the break.

I wonder if the wave parks that will most likely follow will feature fans to ensure it is always blowing offshore? So sick!

And the kicker is...the pool is filled with bourbon and coke.

So that's where Kelly has been spending his money.
I may have to go there, turns out that it's only a little over a one hour drive inland from where I live, woo-hoo!
But I have no idea if it will be open to the public, or if it's just a prototype for new ones all over the world.
GOOD JOB!!!

Hey masterbender I dont know much about it but ah wasnt this wave pool kept secret? How is that possible in the states 1 hr from where you live - surely they been tinkering with it for a long time? Is the area totally uninhabited?

once the design is perfected he could crowd fund one for every capital city in the world.

Check this out, it's by Lemoore, Ca. a farming town mostly. I've driven thru there many times on my way to the Sierra Mts. to go skiing.

yeah imagine how much it will cost though, per ride. only one person at a time.

if you were super rich though you could put one in your backyard, which would be sweet.

i reckon they will go the golf estate route...build one with a bunch of house around it where you pay a memebership every year that way they keep it cost neautral even before anyone has paid extra to ride a wave
