How much is the WSL willing to spend to make a wave pool with waves two feet bigger?

That’s what they’re into now in my half baked opinion.

Yes.

But for how long?

I think the endgame approaches.

I dunno but the WSL have let him get bigger than pro surfing. He's taken full financial advantage by the looks and now treats the whole thing with contempt.

Or at least that's how it appears

I think he'll rape the corpse of pro surfing til the dollars run dry or someone works out how to detach him from it.

Don't know what is more of a headfcuk, that wave, or the comments.

I think you are right tootr.
They can make a wave almost twice as big as the ones we’ve seen in Lemoore but it screws everything up, water gets blown out of the pool and it doesn’t settle again for ages.

For sure the KSWC crew have got a design laid out to build the pool that’ll handle it.

They’re already into the boost-the-QS thing. QS pros are beginning to receive invites for pool days, in little clusters.
Whatever we think of it, they are in on this gig and they are gonna go as far as possible with it.

There's a big solid swell rolling on through. Glassy conditions. Ulus is a bit wonky with only a few out.

I'm just waiting for the tide to change before going out.

Cloudbreak is 20ft plus and perfect. Some of the footage coming out is crazy.

Links please

I’m not sure the second clip was from this last swell. Could be wrong though

Correct, jimmy.
Was in 2011

Ah. Someone has reposted with the cloudbreak hashtag to compare.

Was just about to say he fell in exactly the same spot last time.

I just figured out how to use Instagram for the first time so I can post some pics.

Anthony Walsh GoPro. Look at the maelstrom behind him.

Ramon on that bomb posted above. He got 3 of the best last time around. Like a ninja master.

Cue the tools saying it’s only 12 foot.

13-14 feet with 16 feet bombs.

So that bomb boo posted of Ramon is 16 ft? I would say it's gigantor, Iggy scale.
