surfing teaches you the fluidity of life itself, surfing is already becoming a sport like skating has become. surfing isnt a sport, surfing is surfing.
This is cool but doesnt capture surfing. Surfing is actually being in the ocean and choosing the right waves, fighting the currents, crowds, reefs, sharks, point breaks, etc, etc
@salvuhdor Side 3: Someone whom grew up surfing and then had to move to the middle of no where because of the f*cked up economy might now be able to surf again.

Wow, some people are just biased towards creative ideas. The next time your great idea elicits silence or eye rolls, you might just pity those people. Do they even know what a creative idea looks like?..and that creativity, hailed as a positive change agent, actually makes people squirm? Dont know about you @blisstits but ANY kind of surfing is magic to me..the only killing going on here are the ones we know as "dreamkillers"
I think thats an awesome idea....its a beautiful transition from a sporting career into a much more global surf industry. The aspect of being able to surf in the desert, or anywhere you could build such a waterpark in countries that were landlocked that never head experienced a wave and bring the message of the surf culture to the masses. The surf is the love of mOther Ocean. Peace to all who surf.
What makes an epic day of surfing so special is being conscious of how countless variables (ie. winds, swell size/direction/period, weather, and you managing around your hectic life to be at the right place at the right time) merge into one event. For most this only happens a few days a year and is why those memory's of catching your/any spot firing are burned into your memory.
Kelly half asses nothing and if this comes to fruition in will no doubt be epic. But in my mind, it misses the point.
Too bad this is never going to happen nobody realizes how much power and water something like this takes sorry champ you don't have that much money to waste
All this praise for Kelly, pity it isn't an original idea. The issue being Kelly doesn't hold patents on the wave pool... Australian Greg Webber has patents for his original concept in the USA, China, Japan and Australia.
Sometimes it is nice to know both sides of the story, not just the side with the greatest media saturation.
Surfing without fearing sharks, reefs, jelly fish, undertows and other challenges beginning surfers undergo. Definitely looking forward to this becoming a reality and seeing more.
It would be an awesome novelty but nothing can beat the challenge of getting a barrelled in the ocean. The unpredictability of the ocean is what makes our sport so addictive and no matter how many waves you get in a swimming pool it will never prepare you for what the ocean can throw at you.
To be honest, i think it will take the adventure out of finding breaks and exploring places. Sometimes the surf can be shit but other times you will have the oppertunity to surf a wave that will never break the same again:L
@jrksurfskatee I totally disagree... finding a break and searching for the best wave around the world will NEVER die.. this is just adding to the possible locations... This is just man doing what God created us to do, to be creative and to try to be like Him.
I'm pretty sure they have the wave breaking the wrong way in the image. To be able to continuously ride around a donut shape, you have to be accelerating towards the centre, hence the wave breaking that way.
Hmmm, lets encourage equity and opportunity for all in waves across the world. I think the choice of language and what this implies in the water can be improved upon - not surf nazis - just surfers, will do well. While I am definitely a fan of innovative thinking and design, I am not sure about the holistic surf experience being absent as, of course, it will be here, but I guess this will be the sum of those experiential parts - a gym for honing technique and working out in the water.
This will lead to a whole new generation of surf nazis that will stop at nothing to achieve world domination... skaters and snowboarders will have to bow down, all others will be slaughtered - no one will live on land anymore. There will be no division by countries anymore - the world will be ruled by surf nazis. This is the future!
Thank you so much Kelly for your help in this creation. This has been a dream of mine since I was a kid as well. I grew up skating half pipes before heavily surfing and always wished that surfing could have such a platform so we could ride the same exact wave with the same exact conditions every single day like a skateboarder gets to ride a half pipe. Please make this dream come true...and soon!
this is great. once corporations start building these all over they'll think, "who cares about preserving the ocean? we can surf anywhere now."

The wave in the pic would break on the outside.
A stationary wave would take less Land and be much more controllable.
There are not that many ways to archive such a wave...they will get in trouble with wavegarden. Finally patent madness has arrived in surfing.
I love though how I predicted the technology and even the shapes of the pools right in a work written years ago....
