Man-made wave Perfect

that wave was just the protype..it was obviously gutless and the reason they were going "left right left" was because the wave had zero power and thats how u create speed on a surfboard, its called pumping, unlike jetskis where u just pull a trigger to go fast u actually have to have skill to gain speed without a motor..in powerful waves u dont have to do that or just as many times as the wave dictates if there are sections that dont have power...if u judge a sport from a 50sec video of someone riding a knee high wave in a pond then i think u would also qualify as "special"..

That surfing thing looked quite monotonous.
Left right, left right, left right,.....................
That's it ?

No wonder they get first dibs on surf out west, they're "special".

actually i can detect an insult thinly disguised under a layer of sarcasm just fine.. thanks for your concern though :wave:

Tee hee hee.
You think all I ever do is think about you when ever surf is mentioned or just go on all day with you on my mind in general ?

Wake up sunshine.

You funny.

never said u were insulting me personally...with the cluelessnes around here its hard to tell if u are serious or not.. i think bk was waiting for me to chime in so he could tell me how "elitist" i am..whatever the hell that means...hopefully they build one of those things in every town..more real waves for me...

Don't get me wrong.
I'm elitist enough to want one as well.
I'd even club baby seals and drown polar bears to fund it.
Imagine an endless summer ( the original ) moment day in, day out.

Boris sometimes you confuse me sometimes you make feel like my wittle feelings are hurt, all that is gone you are pretty funny. We can build one here and no endangered species need to die. Thanks.

Actually, when it comes to surfing, you are the first person I think of. Someone who has experience. I dont have any. Not a Dig or anything.
 
Wow. Ill take one! So much potential fun. You can surf and ski the wave half the day then wakeboard/wakeskate on a wench the other half.

I gotta start playing the lottery, google says the estimated cost is 2-3 million euros

So is anyone else wondering how these work? All the info, pics and video I can find on this seems to glaze over how these waves are actually produced. Little elves on a hamster wheel???

im pretty sure a "wedge" of some sort is pulled through the water with some sort of winch system...the problem is that you have to wait for the wedge to retract and for the water to calm down before u can create a second quality wave...so pretty much u couldnt ride a ski in it cause your wake would ruin the wave....

Anyone ever been to a wave pool, and watched how they work? It's all in how you displace the water and give it a place to go that makes a wave. No moving wedge or cable, just a big "paddle" that rises quickly enough to get the ball rolling. Much like a tsunami. Add in a floor that gradually shallows, and viola! Waves.
 
seriously.....

Land is cheep especially here in AL. under 1000 an acre so figure maybe 5-10 acres.
What would the Wavegarden device cost?
What would insurance cost?
seem like a viable business? MAybe..

I emailed them to see what the machine cost might be.
