thats just a flow rider, but set up as a barrel. They have one of these in Singapore right next to a second Flow Rider that looks more like the ones that are at the theme parks here.

Greg Webber webberwavepools.com/ and Slater look like they are getting close to finally getting something off the ground that both say will revolutionize surfing and comp surfing. Rumor has it that Slater has development plans underway already and the first could be on the Gold Coast. Their designs look to mimic a real wave in action as opposed to shooting water up an incline.
I have spoken with Greg at length about his design and the only hindrance it seems is cash flow... Kelly doesn't have this problem.

Gold Coast Business News, 20 November 2012
CONSTRUCTION of the world's first continuous wave pool is a step closer, with AECOM and Cox Rayner appointed to spearhead the Maddison Estate Surf Precinct at Pimpama, which is predicted to bring to be a major drawcard for the Gold Coast.
LM Investment Management (LM) engaged AECOM to undertake a domestic and international tourism and feasibility study while Cox Rayner is lead architect for the precinct.
The Gold Coast-based international fund manager holds an exclusive Memorandum of Understanding with the Kelly Slater Wave Company for its prototype wave park, which will be the centrepiece of the surf precinct.
AECOM associate director planning Dylan Porter says the wave park will enhance the global tourism appeal of the Gold Coast.
“This comes at a time when there is really a ground swell for change on the Gold Coast, promoted by state and local government,” he says.
“We will be working to ensure that a robust market and feasibility analysis is undertaken to support the project, and that it is benchmarked against international standards in terms of quality tourist experiences.
“The Kelly Slater Wave Company brand will further reinforce the Gold Coast's position as a leading tourism destination on the world stage.”
The $1 billion Maddison Estate is located in the northern Gold Coast growth corridor and anchors the LM Managed Performance Fund.
On completion, it will be home to more than 4500 residents.
LM chief executive Peter Drake (pictured) says the appointment of AECOM and Cox Rayner adds to Maddison Estate's “best of the best” team in their respective fields.
“With AECOM, we can accurately assess the benefits this project of state significance will have on tourism and, with Cox Rayner, we will deliver a world-class tourist destination to draw surfers, property owners and holiday makers from around the globe,” he says.
“We are situated only a stone's throw from Australia's best theme parks. Now we are one step closer to delivering a surf destination with the stamp of approval from Kelly Slater, the world's best surfer.”
Cox Rayner is also designing the 2018 Commonwealth Games Aquatic Centre. AECOM is a Fortune 500 company with clients in more than 130 countries.

This wave pool in the UAE looks a bit of fun.

A wave pool on the goldy shouldn't get tooooo crowded!!! Just the normal plus 10,000 ' I've always wanted to try that surfing thing but I'm scared of the ocean'.... F that!!!!

It sound a bit like a soap opera. Or like my beloved Portugal's governors...

Anyway, I hope a few years in time you boys are having fun on the endless barrels.

The question is:
Will SUP boards be allowed???
