Adds new meaning to "glassy" doesn't it? :shock:

The wave looks kind of small doesn't it?

I would tar the slope going down to the pool so you could skate to it.

Fluffy where do you find the time to read stab articles between getting your toenails painted and being the next Renee Rivkin?

...and we're off ladys and gentelmen. Please ensure that your seat belt is fastened, your seat back is upright and your tray-table is stowed.

Fluffy I have wiped puddles of cum off my chest that were more interesting than you. Do your worst, and I'll bite tomorrow.

You use the word "chest" loosely.

I've seen your twiggy frame TMC...I'd say whoever jizzed on you couldn't tell your front from your back.

Interesting post on Swaylocks from one of the guys who tried to get the RonJons pool happening in Florida:

Referring to the above post:-
Maybe a development of a modified pool-side overflow system that they have in public swimming pools may solve the problem of the refraction/turbulence etc that follows the first wave and stuffs up the subsequent ones.
An upside is that this type of wave pool doesn't have sharks :lol:

i think i have found my new career direction, modeling man made waves.
I have been modelling water and other fluids through pipes and and man made structures and shapes, i wonder what software they use to 3d model a traveling wave? that would be an awesome job.

I think if the pool was long enough and holding tanks for replenishing water big enough, then you could have multiple waves running at the same time down the length of the pool, still judging by the mess behind the wave you'd have to assume at least a 30 second gap between waves at the absolute least.

Then that would be a 30 second period groundswell :?: :lol:
