New wave machine?

I like the last paragraph...

The Versareef will generate four types of wave -- Hawaiian, Indonesian, Californian and Australian, with the easiest to ride being the Californian and most difficult the Hawaiian.


I guess there's only one type of wave on this here island. And here I've been cruising around checking a million different spots.

Can I get my 30 years back, please?

I 'm bummed--- 30 years wasted, when all i needed was a pool, rubber, and a few extra millon in my account.

All the time i have wasted chasing, hunting, searching....

Oh shit, that WAS the fun part...

Yea, schlumpf!

It'll be real interesting to see how the wave turns out - because on they talk it up like it's gonna be crazy perfect - like there 1:8 scale model videod here only 8 times bigger (2 feet over head :shock: )

and on their website they talk pretty big too - 100 yard rides - a channel that pulls you back out after a ride - a jacuzzi to chill in when you wait for your next wave complete with video monitors to review your last ride - snacks, drinks etc.

awesome find!!! I'll believe it when i see it though...maybe in about 20 years for the machine to get to Hawaiian Adventures Park? 100-yeard barrels would be sweet though! No need to go to Indo, no need worry about reef and vana... :lol:
