“The Proof is in the Pudding”

I looked at REAL's website recently.  Seems to be an ambitious outfit.  I guess I'll have to take a look when I visit the area a little more than a month from now.  

I suspect the wave pool will be mostly for training, not so much a tourist attraction, though a cafe overlooking the pool might do well in summer.  

scheduled to open 4/1/16

SFGate reports that Slater's also getting into the documentary business--bought rights to a book titled "Thai Stick."  I haven't gotten around to reading my copy.  

Take it home and burn it!

...at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Considering that he is about to retire from the tour, not too surprising.

Given that this is April 1st, I proceed with caution to say I am so proud if Ke11y!

I was there on the trip to Cape Hatteras with the King when he won his first "major" title.

Menehunes in the Easterns.

Yes he is and always will be "The Man".

Godspeed brother!

Both are april fools jokes from what Ive read.

and ESM makes light of the wavepool thing. He is clearly photoshopped in the photo in front of the store. 

 

Well what can you say?

The joke's on me?

Should have listened to FREESURFS!

He did this last year when he announced he was leaving quiksilver, which was true.

I troll 2L.com to be a better person in real life

i'd be so pissed if i spent all this time and money to make a perfect wavepool and i had to wear gloves to surf it

WOW indeed... Hope they don't have any reliability issues like Wavegarden/Snowdonia.

WOW....what a video !!!

I hope they can make it a LEFT also

KSWAVECO's setup looks a lot like Wavegarden, but better.  I suspect Wavegarden is stuffed.  Looks to cold to be Australia in recent weeks.  Trees might be eucalyptus, so California??

Checked REAL Watersports' Facebook, nothing new on the Slater collaboration, but they could be a logical user of a serious wave pool for training.  Good way to get trainees into serious waves, even better way to ensure usable waves for people who have to make reservations at REAL in advance, or have to stick to schedules.

Oh my, , , , fooking baby's mother's kitten's pajamas!!!!!!!

Makes Wavegrden's wave look like Wet'n Wild.

That can't be real! Has to be Photo Shop!

From the intro clip, we know that they are driving on the right side of the road, , , ,.
