    How sick it would be to have a wave pool that spits out 6ft waves right in your backyard where you have it all to yourself and with your friends. It could be 2am and you could just go outside and shred.


    Only in a perfect world.

    It would go the way of the trampoline. Never used and full of leaves.

    Dune bro, the fact that you think big like this is a good thing. Success is predicated on knowing what you want, then amassing the means to seize it. If you have desires of balling this hard and every night being a hedonistic rip city then start hustling and get it.

    yeah, but, creating the perfect wave all the time makes the perfect imperfect....i prefer my break just the way it is....imperfect,on-shore, blown out, mid tide, and a circus...if it wasn't ever like that how would i know what winter is like?

    my thought exactly. maybe it's a "lack of vision", but i don't see the appeal of wave pools & things like the wave garden. they're interesting novelty waves, but i think they'd get pretty boring pretty quickly.

    I always thought of this! I think it would be the coolest thing. I'd probably prefer the ocean when it is going off over a wave pool.. but imagine those days when it isn't worth going to the beach... "I'm going to shred on my wave pool today!"



    One could only dream....

    I'm not much of a fan of wave pools, but if I was a 14 year old kid living in Kansas and wanted to surf it would be pretty cool to have a wave pool where I live.

    I would be into it. At the very least as a trainer, with the repetitive carbon copy wave you could try and try again until you mastered a specific move. I would then take these skill back to the ocean and smoke the competition. It's much more difficult to master something on a changeable beach break on the east coast. Paddled out 3 days ago and surfed for just over two hours. This was my first session in over two weeks. In that two hours I caught about 8 waves all but 2 were jump to your feet one pump, tuck for a sloppy barrel that shut down after 25 feet. Your not gonna improve much with that ratio of bad to good waves. The wave garden would fix that.

    no, b/c it might be chest to head high, but there would still be an endless amount of variables involved...wind, tide, swell direction, etc...that would keep it interesting & challenging. you don't have that w/ a wave pool, so once you've got it, you've got it.
