I haven't been in awhile but I remember having a great time body surfing that wave and riding it in to 3 foot of water and looking back at all the tourists who were wondering who the hell just sucker punched me.

It's still there and still the same.  I went a few months back and split a peak with Lopey, his first wave back from injury and he ripped it, me not so much but I got second place in that heat.

This is too good to go unrecognized.

I've had my fill, but I like the water park. What are they going to do with it?

There was a time back in 2ndlights heyday that groups would post on here with open slots and forumers could jump in. I surfed it a few times that way- now you never hear about sessions there with openings.

I assume you mean closed for the season?

The shark reef is under construction as we speak changin to a flume style ride i believe. Uncle (been there 33 years) says they are talking about a full revamp of its 2 remaining water parks.

I just don't understand why they couldn't just combine the Shark Reef attraction project with the typoon lagoon wave. What better way to give it a more natural feel.

Disney's got a huge pile of attractions and hotels that need tending and replacement/refurbishment, while Universal has lots of cash available from its parent company, NBC Universal, which is owned by Comcast.

The shark reef is salt water I believe.

Disney is valued @ ~150 billion. NBC is ~30 billion. Comcast was just purchased for ~72 billion. 

I don't think disney has any issues getting their hands on cash.

I just went with a group of mostly firefighters a couple weeks ago. Same setup as it was years ago. You can play your own music if you bring a device with an auxiliary cord. Staff was friendly and the engineer/tech running the waves was asking us for feedback as the session went on, he had it dialed in.

Paddleout - I remember that, great times. I met as many forumers through the 'goon as I did at the plant sales and barbecues back then.

I too remember a "Goon" session that Mr. Paddle out had organized back in like '03 or something. It was a great time! Made some new surf buds and met some fellow 2ndlighters.. Great times had by all!
