That would be super fun to surf, but it is super boring (to me) to watch! It should stay a specialty event, if it should even be an event~

At 45 seconds of repeatable perfection, how do you not score a 10 on every ride?

everybody is losing money. there are NBA and NFL teams that aren't profitable. the WSL is no different theyve been losing money for years.

WSL is losing money

be mindful of the KS surf ranch. it isn't for stupid poor consumers like you and me this is an attempt to commercialize the product, and the product is profesional surfing. Corono KS open. The Nike KS open. The Adidas KS Open. The Chick-Fil-A KS Open.

 

such a cool wave and I wish there was a way to make this accessible for the average surfer, the consumer surfer. this is not for u and me!

I can't find a coupon in groupon. This price will be beyond the mere mortal's means if they plan on making their money back on individuals.

I have no knowledge of his business goals, but I would imagine after investing so much money, the plan is to prove that the technology is sound, and viable. Then after a few of these events, hopefully, some much larger group, comes in and purchases the rights to the technology, so that these can be built around the world. There has always seemed to be a niche in the entertainment world for this type of thing, but just nothing that re-creates the real thing quite like Kelly has done at his ranch. Many companies have wasted millions of dollars trying to invent this, now that it is a proven tech, he can recoup his investment. Then, maybe one day in the future, all the people in Orlando will be bitching about all the coastal guys invading their wave pool.

Aquaholic wins!

On one hand, Kelly's current "Ranch" should perhaps only be regarded as a "proof of concept" installation.

On the other hand, , , , as has been talked about here before, , , , this may "really" be the beginning of "Official" (Media) Olympic grade surfing. Ya, ya, ya, just as rigid as figure skating but a tad bit more exciting and interesting; and certainly on par with Olympic skating's "eye" appeal.

The "new" adjusted bottom is certainly going to be a game-changer in the surf park sector. And, in park contests in particular. And, please understand that we have perhaps entered a time when "The Perfect Wave" will no longer "automatically" get you a 10.0. In Kelly's wave, , , , you are automatically placed on a very, very, perfect wave. Everybody else in the contest gets the same waves as you and each other. IT is what You Do with the perfection that has been afforded to you. And, all that while also performing many compulsory moves.
