Surfing Wave Pool - Latest Development

[TheLoufee1]

Wow kerry black just loves to steal other ppls designs

[scrappycoco0011]

So when you hit the wall..

[GromSurf1224]

Make it 4-5 and ill love it

[gpl123365365]

thanks allot guys now i have to go find Barney to see what he wrote

[Kangerous1]

2:54 looks like a 5 year olds drawing



[natro3]

make that wave 6 foot and im hooked

[fryingfries1]

this is the best thing to happen to surfing. soon there will be so many perfect waves in the world which will A. improve surf performance and B. more importantly thin out crowds in the ocean. providing they make enough around the world that are accessable to the average joe. Kerry Black you are a genius

[Viperflame08]

make it the size of a island and u can wipe out country's.......

[jordanhyatt]

What happend to the Ron Jon Surf Park????? Liars!!

[Th3RazZ0r]

2:02 tube spot lol

[ahikiller420]

hawaii would love it

[beetitus]

ny idea where can I buy this devices..ive seen other kind called flow ride or wave houses id like to sell and install them for people down in latin america

[surfs1man]

less people in the water better for me

[thempetro]

i think that places like these are perfect for people in the midwest, but not a state that has its own ocean

[ahikiller420]

ill ride any wave real or fake bus it out ill ride um .stop the hate fags if this shit was in your back yard u would b the man

[beetitus]

@ahikiller420 any idea where can I buy this devices..ive seen other kind called flow ride or wave houses id like to sell and install them for people down in latin america

[Th3RazZ0r]

tube spit lol 2:00

[hughdoesntskate]

i hope they make them big and get all the kooks and learners out of the real surf

[sunnygirl9901]

i cant believe how stupid this all sounds! "creating the perfect wave" ?? yeah maybe they can create tubes and stuff but a surfer isnt just searching for the perfect wave. I love the feeling when the salty water clutches into my face. I just love it not to know whats out there. theres nobody who pushes some buttons and then a "perfect" wave apears!!

[mrsbradpittiful]

fucking sheep shaggers. get a life

[Elwopey]

thets sum hivy berrils! We cud it fush n chups n ren arind the bick there n jimp en n git Berils! Sorry bout my NZ ecksent.

[n1k7873]

I'll take Pipe over this any day.

[inline904]

@Edsonblabla come surf florida for a year and then tell me if there is absolutelly no point on surfing a wave pool

[Edsonblabla]

There is absolutelly no point on surfing a wave pool. Why would people look after waves placed in exotic, beautifull and crowdless places? It is not only about surfing a perfect wave alone, or with some few people you hnow.. that I could do in the videogame, or in a skatepark.

It is all about being in contact with the breathtaking immensity of nature, feeling ''the rapture on the lonely shore''. Please, greedy ex-surfers, don't kill surf.

[KR3W1996]

that would be sickif they had a massive one of those and turned it into a park, for us people that dont have the luxury of the ocean:D

[CheesyCheeto1]

That is amazing only if it had bigger waves

[sirfender8]

the whole point of being in the surf is getting different waves everytime if your surfing the same wave everytime your gonna get sick of it pretty quickly

[AiIVIBoTz]

@sirfender8 yeah, but in florida the waves dont get above 2 feet unless a storm comes up from the carribean.

[mentaloaf]

@sirfender8 Not if it's barreling....I could catch a good barreling wave 100 times a day for the rest of my life and NEVER get bored...

[TheDRod69]

dude, just surf

[lawnshark19]

next thing you know they will be making the perfect blow up doll

[R1V3RS1D3B0YZ]

if something like this comes out. that'll just mean less people out on the real deal

[SBulletproof]

Anybody else thirsty all of the sudden?

[okalov]

"taking reality and turning it into dreams"... good job with that...

[sickdub4real]

xP



[IZZYxSKiiLZ]

fuck this quality!

[monkeyboydesign]

Has anyone noticed how crowded the ocean is getting? If someone can build a quality, affordable wave near me, I'm in.

[fatdrood]

i like how at the end you slam into a wall,try going to the beach an catching a wave instead for free and use the money on something worthwhile

[SplitXMinds]

WOW A WHOLE 5 SECOND RIDE!

[TheWaverider808]

I do believe in Natural waves and love it...but this is awesome! Specially on those days of summer when is mostly flat in some areas! Besides no everyplace has a perfect wave! Great Job!

[ChennyB0Y]

what's the point?

[keonikauai]

It's cheaper to preserve nature, than to destroy it first and then trying to conquer it and recreate it. Just look at the attempt to conquer the atom. First dropping the Hiroshima bomb to "achieve peace" and lately the Fukishima reactors going out of control.

[MrHodo123]

Forget the waves, fill these pools with makos and great whites and feed the japanese whalers to them. Id pay to see that. Support the sea sheperd organisation

[TheEnviroFriend]

i don't surf, but i have to say, wouldn't this take all of the fun out of surfing? aren't you supposed to flow with nature rather than control it?

i longboard skateboard though, which is similar to surfing, except instead of riding the waves, you ride the hills. you learn to flow with the hills, and if you don't, you eat asphalt, but if you never had a challenge, it would be no fun. same thing with surfing, perfectly shaped waves would be too predictable.

[picnicker74]

"We're using real Physics" LOL.

What else would you use to create waves? Unreal Physics? Real Chemistry?

[xXxmidnightwolfxXx]

@MrPilago808 this is the same company that made the artificial reef in boscombe, google that and see how well thats worked.

[alkhemst]

Can you make a circular one with the wave breaking on the outside of the ring? Opposite to kswc idea, more efficient and smaller scale needed to produce the same..

[juddomagic]

KERRY BLACK IS A WANTED MAN IN SOUTH TARANAKI AND MOUNT MAUNGANUI NZ,FOR RIPPING OFF THE LOCAL RATE PAYERS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BUILDING ARTIFICIAL REEFS THAT DO NOT WORK.THE PEOPLE OF OPUNAKE WERE DUPED BY THIS CHARACTER AND NOW HAVE A LEMON AND NOT A VIABLE WORLD CLASS SURF BREAK AS WAS PROMISED.DO NOT TRUST HIS CLAIMS OF FANTASTIC DIS OR DAT!!!!

[richardturner01]

Great idea, the more kooks we can get out the sea and into wave pools the better. Roll em out across the world. :)

[ZeroTheHero17]

Wouldn't it be awesome if those guys were your neighbors and they made a HUGE wave pool?!

[bsdude010]

@ZeroTheHero17 Neighbors? No way. I want to win the lottery and make my own! :D

[BabiiPerryua959]

uhm_ÄÑyòNè_wÂññÂ_chåt_wìth_mè_­i_fèèl_sÓ_l0ñélÿ_tøDÃY♫

[Pag134]

i'll take that any flat day

[Andreazor]

This kinda kills the point, magic and awesome of surfing.

[jepox84]

for me there are two points why surfing is not ordinary. it harnesses natural energy (wave only, not including making the board) and the waves are not the same everyday. every time we go out, we get to hope and get excited of how would the waves look like and that makes surfing fun.

[m1grand10]

omg all of you guys are like so be one with nature we dont need fake waves....build a reef?WTF!!!!!if they make a perfect wave who gives a shit...one more to surf

[barney470]

the whole point in surfing is that you are harenessing nature. So as soon as it becomes man made, you never be able to experience all the surfing offers you

[bsdude010]

@barney470 Good luck harnessing nature in central Florida. We only get the good stuff if we get a decent hurricane swell.

What are we supposed to do in between hurricane swells, snowboard? :)

[rightbowlcutback]

@barney470 you must not surf Florida very often

[AdamSurfsUp]

@rightbowlcutback LOL exactly.

[holyshizzleitsconnor]

@rightbowlcutback Amen bro!

[ironmonnkey15]

@rightbowlcutback Why, is it just terrible?

[HapplyFace]

@barney470 yes, but this could be awesome for places that don't have a beach :/

[goopipoopie]

@barney470 no you fucking idiot.. its about getting shacked and having fun lmao

[mrbankalot]

@barney470 its just alot safer for the people that are scared of fish lol

[metaZen]

@barney470 except that the act of riding waves is still fun whether they are man made or not.. this will never replace natural waves so don't worry about it..

[blopiful]

@barney470 well, you're lucky to live by the shore, some people live miles away from the ocean

[MrTerrierLove]

@barney470 The WHOLE point?!! You really need to learn to have fun and quit the faux-philosophy. Pretentious dork.

[ithinkimtj]

@barney470 go hug a tree...

[catnico1]

@barney470 ...only a barney would say something soo....lame..

[captainsilly151]

@barney470 surfing has no point, therefore it is pointless. But without surfing, my life would be pointless.

[hamburgermeat11]

@barney470 hippy

[kincro]

@barney470 lol try harnessing nature when it's flat!!!

[jaceynz]

@barney470 yeah man I totally agree, but why not continue to attempt to develop technology that can bring us closer to a perfect wave? It'll never be as sick as a point break firing with just you and your mates but it'd be so sick to hit your local indoor wave at like 10pm at night and shred with your buddies on a friday! i look forward to surfing technology its gonna be sick!

[808bayside]

@barney470 yea but some people live in kansas and they want the same experience

[MichiganFann]

@barney470 this could be a practice or just a fun thing for inland people

[jaimehob]

@barney470 the whole point in surfing is not that you are harnessing nature you dirt foot hippy..... .you do it because its fun, that sounds like something an emo would write in his diary

[barney470]

@jaimehob i hardly care anymore you guys need to get a life

[MrThomasbarr]

@barney470 shut up dick



[GABETHEPKER]

@barney470 lol if we want to make a wave were allowed to, oh wait guys barney said this wasnt allowed so lets just not make this... lol hell no

[edantila]

after all that I was waiting for real wave.. what a let down !

[2karriizman]

Piss the pumps off and use a Falkirk Wheel to generate your waves in lakes or dams .The Falkirk Wheel uses bugger all energy and i reckon with the right shape pool in a lake or large dam you could generate clean 8 to 10ft waves no worries .At this point in time i have not seen an artificial wave worth raveing much about.

[oniondeluxe]

i wish every wave pool was like that. but bigger pool. and adjustable waves.

[elskater97]

tech deck surf boards.. wuu haha

[felipeguy12345]

the only problem is that the waves are 1/2 foot tall

[hurryupche]

A^2+b^2=c^2 yeeeaaaaaa woo hoooo lol jk totally narly

[ajnorky1]

hes ripped the taranaki public off for millions good stuff dr.fuckwitt

[rootberry]

Where is this now?

[schmoonzx]

kerry black and ASR are a bunch of con men. google Opunake artifical surf reef or mt manganui surf reef. the english one tells the same story.

these guys also pay heavies to clear the ine up for their paying surf camp costomers in a spot in indo.

kerry black and ASR, ripping off surfing the world over!!!!

[justWatchin97]

what i wouldn't give to be a mouse

[LMFAOKIDISHERE]

no you ya uptight penis curling bitch

[LMFAOKIDISHERE]

bbbooooooooooooooooring

[d19sunking]

@LMFAOKIDISHERE shut the fuck up

[nicolyallbay]

the guy talking at the start is he dave rasta?

[joraf9327]

at least the beaches where i live wont be crowded :D

[joraf9327]

i'll rather do a costa rican surf trip

[Cheapsh0t247]

OK, if your a regular foot surfer i guess, can you not develop a point break, but seriously, good efforts guys, nice job

[TWISTEDRIFTER]

@Cheapsh0t247 it goes left too. Just switch the pumps around and it makes lefts.

[nicolyallbay]

new zealand rox!!!!

[Stitch2333]

its sooo realistic that you can even hit a wall .... because thats what happens in the ocean your limited to the length you can go

[miserkocho]

fake waves for alien people.

[p3nguinish]

The future!!!! .. is so sad

[TWISTEDRIFTER]

@p3nguinish yep all these new ideas are bad for us. Why are people even thinking about riding thrusters and quads? REAL surfers ride single fins!!

[emrico1]

@TWISTEDRIFTER REAL bad surfers ride single fins

[TWISTEDRIFTER]

@emrico1 That was a joke but i ridae all boards and ive seen some rippers getting more modern prerformance out of a single fin than quads etc. That is SKILLS my friend..Kooks ride fat wide singles too but to rip on one is harder than a thruster.

[emrico1]

@TWISTEDRIFTER for sure lol.

Riding retro boards is awesome fun :)

A good surfer can rip on any decent equipment.

There are some trippers who hide behind shit old shapes and mals etc who claim they would scralp on a shortboard if they wanted to but we all know that is BS.

[TWISTEDRIFTER]

@emrico1 yep but in saying that i think ill stick with quads thrusters and twin fishes for a while lol...

[cuntface0987]

your a fuckwit theses thing never work fuck off and pull the one out of the mount its horse shit get a real job and stop wrecking surf spots

[mrthen1]

2:04 spit ftw

[SquidgyMcGee]

I love wave pools they are a great idea... By the way all the people that do not like wave pools and standing waves, flowrider etc. Do your realize that they have the potential to be better than the real thing. It would cost a fortune but its possible, also its not the intention to make better than real beaches just different and more importantly constant so there are MORE waves . If you do not like it. do not surf it or look at these clips then. Douche bags

[prolate55]

its good but u need a close out for aerial or a sandbar to go vertical o

[jckoenigs69]

I'll take the real thing.

[TYSMAN22]

@Mothercityguy listen they said they are making one bigger essh blody bodyboarders don't listen

[Mothercityguy]

DAMN!! I wanna be part of this but that wave was to short to ride (the 1 with humans on). From a bodyboarder.

[bigredreppinsince94]

they wave is liek 2ft whats soo good about that ?.

[poop5953]

how big was the wave pool model.

[poop5953]

how big was the wave pool model.

[poop5953]

cool

[LCHLLO2008]

when i win the lotto i want one of these .Perfect waves on tap,no crowds unless you invite them,and no travel costs.I am not religeous but that sounds bloody close to heaven to me.Thanks for posting

[twint1p]

@LCHLLO2008 well thats lame if you win in a lotto what the fuck do you care about travell costs, and real surfing is so much better than this

[GrahamTVdotNet]

UN Fruckin Real mate. Bring it on !

[c4t2f0]

WOW...thats badass!!one of these days wave machines will be a option when buying a house.lol.want a pool...or a WAVE POOL!!!!!!good shit

[felipeguy12345]

i wish i had that in my back yard

[MrPilago808]

with all that money your wasting on trying to make a fake wave, why not make a real waves off an artificial reef

[dknoway]

@MrPilago808 ASR have done that a long time ago. This is the next step that doesn't rely on weather-generated swell. And it can be deployed in places that aren't fortunate enough to have a coast near to them. 'Make sense now?

[MrPilago808]

@dknoway if you wanna surf so god damn bad why not save all the money you wasted on making a 3 second wave breaking in shit looking water, you could move to someplace that isnt land locked and surf. or you know what, waste your money on this shit that theyre trying to fulfill, stay somplace land locked and keep the line ups less crowded. fuckin clown

[dknoway]

@MrPilago808 No need to get nasty Wanker. I and ASR are from New Zealand - You can never be more than a couple of hours drive from the coast! They're just trying to spread the love of Surfing to some who are less fortunate to have access to it normally. But you're probably one of those loco locals who drops in on anyone from further than a couple of coves away who's crowding "Your" line up, so that's OK, you're not expected to get it.

[benwild1234567890]

@MrPilago808 have you ever thought that people could just b inland not on s coast

[emrico1]

@MrPilago808 Can't always have swell or the right wind for an artificial reef. You can't surf an artificial reef inland either. Existing artificial reefs have been expensive failures to date whereas some wave pool success has been attained at Siam and Japan.

[lalaboards]

@MrPilago808 Yes but we have to kill off all the enviro Nazis first.I have been waiting for this thing to come out for years.Never gonna happen in my life time.I would take a wave pool over crowds any day I have been visiting artificial waves since 1981.I always have a good time.I dont know why this hasn;t happened yet.

[ps2monster]

@MrPilago808 The thing is, making a reef doesn't mean there will be a wave...

[TheElectricSalad]

@MrPilago808 wow no body would say no to this on a flat day

[bombardtheman]

@MrPilago808

Because fake waves can be made and used without swell, the ocean, or a coastline

[CoreyL11]

@MrPilago808 cause for people like me who moved from oahu to colorado, this is godly

[E31016]

@MrPilago808 the point of the fake wave is to bring surfing to areas where people have no opportunity to surf in the ocean

[marleySux]

i want 1

[55nublet]

wasted money that could have went to fl first artificial reef just like they did in india with a perfect wave now >.< the ocean is not just about perfect waves i see no freedom in this surfed typhoon lagoon was fun but the elements were not there making it seem false

[wantonious]

@55nublet india is far from perfect, as is every other artificial wave made by this company (asr). the best artificial wave has to be the super bank which as a result destroyed an arguably better wave in kirra.

[MrMaer18]

cool



[nickalexrock]

PLEASE MAKE ONE IN VERMONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cre8iveSignWorks]

trust the kiwis ay!



[southBAYstruts]

is there any wave house like this in california im over the fake ass ones that are just water being shot up a plastic hill

[iamstacka]

this is fantastic! ye something is lost when you eliminate mother nature...it wont completely compare to all the elements coming together naturally ....wind, tides, swell direction and size, but not everyone has direct access to the surf. not everyone lives by the coast. and if you are lucky enough, you too will notice how crowds are increasing dramatically yet wave quality and quantity isn't,(chesk out Mornington Peninsula to see what I mean). Wave pools are all good in my books!

[meanderingincashmir]

great stuff



[pan1pan1]

Even if this worked on a larger scale pool it's not the whole surfing experience and has no soul. There's no effort and commitment in paddling out, no anticipation and excitment sat in the line up wonder what the next set will be like....no stoke. For me paddling out in freezing cold, blown out, raging winter sea's makes the super clean, warm summer days all the sweeter, the good days with the bad it's what surfing is about.

[omgsurfer]

@pan1pan1 To be honest I even enjoy the raging winter sea's. Sometimes they can be just excellent even in places like Norfolk (England). But agreed, these types of pool's are ruining the traditional "Surfing" however. If you're a surfer and you move somewhere that has no surf then surely you and I both would go to these? Don't get me wrong I love the real deal but i'd love to give these a try they seem a bit of fun if you have nothing to do and the swell is blown out !

[jeswah83]

Officially put the FL pool on hiatus after dumping all of their building budget into R & D to rework the design after they found out that this one doesnt work like they thought in a full scale size. Kerry Black doesn't surf. If he did, he would know that you outrun this wave fast, needs much more area, bottlenecking the desing into a narrow end saves wave energy but makes the ride hella short. The ring is better idea, KSlater bought the rights to it, but expect years before seeing it anywhere

[alexbro11]

i thought that wave pool was suppose to be done a long time ago

[Samwiseification]

Manu bay at 3:26 sickest break in NZ

[zenaku680]

wtf the wave spit and they say its not togood

[satangavemewings]

problem is it doesnt have the weight of the wave behind it pushing you forwards, instead it has the water pushing you back

[sk8ncre8]

goolgle Big Blue Tubes, san diego. and learn how to make Huge tubes for cheap.

[jeridHawaii]

the magic is riding the wave...everythign else is a bonus

[redskins207]

haha close out on the wall

[themadscientest]

it needs to be kinda slow and hollow so you can enjoy all the parts... am i perverted or dose that sound like sex

[TWISTEDRIFTER]

With wedges like that shown you would get too much speed for how slow the tube is grindinng. IMO you would outrun the tube naturally, without trying. IMO faster tubes are more fun. Therefore the pool should be wider and you need more of a channel.

[FreshStuffix]

itd be great for place like in the desert were u cant surf.

[MrBriq3]

what about the sweet offshore winds?

[Groundswell17]

i donnoooo, this takes the magic outa it all, i doubt i'de get that home feeling sitting in a concrete pool watching the sun rise on the city :P

[bentzenko]

i was just thinking th same thing watching a bunch of other man made waves.. i just couldnt put it down to words (the magic of nature and being out there at the right time to recieve its gift):D

[jonnebanan]

well that's great. So now we don't need to travel to remote tropical islands and get up early. Eat a good breakfast as the sun rises behind the palm trees and then paddel out in crystal water over vibrant collored coral reefs to surf the perfect barrels. We can just go to a wavepool for all we need. How long is the ride and what did it cost to build one of those again?

[cuntface0987]

thos things r shit and a waste off time theres one in the mount maunganui , a man made reef the thing coast a few mill and its never worked.. its eazy to make something in a pool but you put the thing in the ocean it will never work its a fucken waste off time get a real job

[YouBustedMyNut]

they arent trying to put it in the ocean fuckwit, how about you get a real job and stop sucking off your dad everynight.

its meant to go in pools.

[cuntface0987]

@YouBustedMyNut haha you fucken stupid cunt you no nothing and they do put them in the ocean , read up on some info b4 you make stupid comments

[YouBustedMyNut]

@cuntface0987 it clearly says for proposed florida WAVE POOL you fucken dregg

[damanisdakila]

thats a perfect wave

[flemming7777]

1:10 scale my ass....thats a full size beginners pool that doesn't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[bflow86]

Why can't they make a bigger pool in Orlando. It seems the technology is there but just not the scale. Is it a money issue?

[dnlvh8]

@bflow86 Yea because nobody in this economy will or can invest.

[xxcurnuxx]

@bflow86 Sort of, as it turns out that to create a perfect wave isn't scalable. It is exponential, like if it take 6 inch wave 4 joules of energy to create. It will not take 8 joules to make a one foot wave, it would take like 16 joules or something.
