Tiny waves but maximum stoke on this vid (yes i sighted a sup & the tiny kids with lifejackets on are totally on to it). Will have to post the link to the technology separately but at first glance they were not giving too much away

That one will never happen but I would put money if I had some on this being a reality in the next year or two.

Any cashed up breezers looking for an investment?


But its a bit like a "fast food" version....I mean where are the trees & the sunshine & that lovely outdoors stuff?

With the money people make selling 2 minute long barrels and perfect Indo type waves they can plant a garden I reckon. 10 people on waves at a time that can be ridden infinitely around the circle. This is the Future Gizzie, I bet even NZ gets one or a few.

Yeah Doggie it has been a long time in the making eh. Seems like the testing in Launceston is almost complete and it's getting ready for launch.

Greg was 1st with this concept for sure. I'm hanging to ride a perfect barelling wave that goes forever!

sorry mac i disagree. i couldn't imagine a better way to 'hone in' your surfing.

a surf coach would be drooling to get his crew on those waves in such a controled environment

some of the technique shown by those natural footers on those lefts is outstanding

cheers
