I thought i was still drunk from last nights Xmas party when this blew up the Interweb thingy
Just wow !

How good

Yep pretty amazing what the human brain is capable of.

Oh, and an awful lot of money as well.

ET.

Massive conveyor belt?

Incredible. But I'd guess that it will cost about 20 dollars a wave to use it, when Joe Public actually can.

It might be *too* good, and spoil you for the real world. How many places have a wave like that?

But for elite sponsored riders who want to work on their tube riding, or obscenely rich playboys in Dubai who want to show off to their mates, it would obviously be great. Good for advertising pics too, if they can sort out the water colour. I wonder how it copes with a stiff "onshore" breeze.

Shame greg webber isnt getting the publicity that kelly is. He even had to take kelly waveco to court i think....

GC super bank is just like that but when its fires even when it doesnt it has 100s and 100s lined up fighting for the swells so my guess is if you can have a wave like that and be the only one on it. Then what ever the cost is many a many aussies would drop the cash to ride it.

I got no idea about the engineering side of things. it would take a **** load of power and energy to produce the wave but surely that energy is being captured and cycled back To keep it running which in that case it wouldn't be that expensive would
It?

If you could get it for $20 a wave it would be cheap. That's the cost of a few ice creams at dreamworld.
It'll never replace all the great things the ocean has to offer, but I'd hand over a few bucks to try it !

And now, the parody:

Yes, it has $20 to $30 per wave written all over it... I crunched some numbers, to confirm... Clearly $50 is too much... But USD$75 for 5 waves would probably be the deal... They need to compete with ski fields, water ski parks, etc... Seems that this is actually a "refurbished" water ski park...

De rien, on a besoin de se moquer de la communication institutionnelle souvent pompeuse...

You are welcome, we need satire to burst the pompous bubbles of professional communication agencies...
