"I'M SUBOTAI, THIEF AND ARCHER."
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.
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!!
Imagine having that next to the beach for a day without waves
Classy move Kelley !!! Way to have an absolute legend deservingly ride the first left !! Well done awesome video

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.
Doesn't look as hollow as the right, looks fun though
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.
A future were wave pools become surfing and we're competition are held in wave pools is not a future I wanna see .
That is a great one
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
Finally a left!!!
THE SONG IS MIKE EDGE-BEEN SO LONG for anyone who is wondering
Looks fun, I would give it a try. You guys should watch my vlogs
WHY A GOD DAMN LEASH????!!!?!?
I have started digging the hole in my back garden, just waiting for waves
Gerry is so damn cool. Favorite surfer for sure. I love his storytelling
who's the first " King of the Wavepool?"probably some aspiring grom in Iowa,why not?
????????
can i come???
Wronggggg. The future is actually foil.. #facepalm
Yeeewww Brah Middle of Central California Brah!
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.
Gary lopez its hero
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 ?
