    This is by far the most realistic wave pool so far. From the ride length, and the way they can change it up. This model looks the best compared to the other 3 (or 4?) and I"m sure it could be scaled up too.

    What we need in the next wave pool is a grower.... it doesn't take more energy to make a grower, it's related to the bottom. Some times I take off at Jake's on a wide two footer and by the time I'm negotiating the end its 5 foot. That's not more energy that's created that, it's the bottom. So then in a wave pool situation the thing can become a bigger and bigger wave without expending energy....

    awesome. I think this puts the one Occy was behind to shame...much better. And, dare I say it, even surpasses the Goats Lemoore venue. Just the fact that you can have several people surfing at once is a huge bonus for sure. And the variety on one wave is superior as well I think. Question though....why can't all these pools make the waves twice as big? I mean, as great as this wave pool is, an extra couple of feet in size would really be the business!! Thanks for posting this Stab....

    • @truthpursuit8
      @truthpursuit8 Před 4 lety +2

      Definately possible for sure but i think there are alot of variables to tune in before making it alot bigger. I dont think that actual surf park could take another 2 feet the way it's been designed. Look at the height of the walls for instance. 2foot bigger waves would mean so much more power needed , alot more water moving around. Most likely a shit load more money needed to pull it off, I can see it happening in the future no doubt.

      Rides are definitely shorter but your wave count would be super high compared to Lemoore. Surf Ranch is a sick wave, longer and a little bigger but repetitive (meaning no variations) and out of the price range for most. This looks like you could show up with some mates for an afternoon and get barreled repeatedly for the same cost as a round of golf. Would love to know what their going to charge.

    The technology for wave pools just keeps getting better and better but I have heard the cost at ones that are operating is about $100 an hour, pretty steep considering the ocean is free but you are guaranteed decent quality waves. I guess the further from the ocean you are the more viable an option it becomes anyway.

    curious how the wind affects this wave?

      Exactly the same as wind affects any wave...

    maybe a longer barrel than waco, but waco looks much better for above the lip moves.

    • @Marty7Buuu
      @Marty7Buuu Před 4 lety

      Definitely heavier and bigger barrel, and longer it seems too than Waco's. Huge variety of waves, unlike Waco's as well. Waco's might have a slight upper claim on above the lip waves, but Melburn seems to be still shaping theirs. My bet, best in every category. Slater's is not affordable and it's an unnatural mechanical wave
