I'm a goofy footer and would love a chance at that wave.

Anything can be bought in a world bereft of conscience. The goons with their filthy cash will pay $50 bucks a wave and … WIPE OUT! You can watch through the fence since your ocean is a cesspool. Can you say F-U-K-U-S-H-I-M-A? …. Money got your tongue? Since Bali´s toast I guess the dream merchants have no place left to sell.

Nicolas Ruvalcaba says:

You can get more board time in one day than you would in one year the traditional way… must be nice.

I personally think wave pools are the shiz! It's like mtb bike parks, when conditions are shit on natural trails I'll head to a mantained bike park for some brapping, jus like if my local break is shit conditions and I'm hanging for a surf then I'll happily heead to a man made wave for some stoke!!

Very emblematic that Kelly Slater chose Jerry Lopez to be the approving authority out of respect. Two fine guys. Helps to make that odd perfect wave a bit more palatable.

NurbKingSim says:

Doesn't look as hollow as the right, looks fun though

sVMZ says:

If "thats the future" seems kinda lame, what happened to the adventure of being in the wild and connecting with nature? This wave pool is super cool, no doubt, but it takes away much of the beauty of surfing. It's more like ice skating on a rink or snowboarding a park, both are cool/fun, but connecting with nature and the elements away from man-made stuff is where it's at in my opinion.

emile bkk says:

A future were wave pools become surfing and we're competition are held in wave pools is not a future I wanna see .

Aint1S says:

That is a great one

hadznation says:

I'm so glad that instead of seeing one of the new guys have a crack at it, we see Gerry Lopez, an old pioneer

Alicia Galjaardt says:

Luxeee says:

THE SONG IS MIKE EDGE-BEEN SO LONG for anyone who is wondering

Louis Anthony says:

Looks fun, I would give it a try. You guys should watch my vlogs

Sam Larson says:

WHY A GOD DAMN LEASH????!!!?!?

Gregg Smith says:

I have started digging the hole in my back garden, just waiting for waves

NorthOCkook says:

Gerry is so damn cool. Favorite surfer for sure. I love his storytelling

C Moon says:

Winsome Losesome says:

Wronggggg. The future is actually foil.. #facepalm

Mykel Mixks says:

Paul Midd says:

must use so much power. Look how big the rail is . Its longer then a bus. How much per wave.
Dont say its 100% run on solar either.

Wesley Maia says:

phu cue says:

So I guess Slater's wavepool is legit !!! Gerry Lopez approved !!! Hey Kelly, I want a wavepool in Missouri !Where the men are men and their sisters are scared!!! What do you think ?
