Is The Melbourne’s URBNSURF The World’s Best Wave Pool?

It's a roaring 19c with a raging south wind keeping it warm enough to avoid frostbite and fin freeze

[@nicksnicknet]

This is by far the most realistic wave pool so far. From the ride length, and the way they can change it up. This model looks the best compared to the other 3 (or 4?) and I"m sure it could be scaled up too.

[@langsfordmusicltd283]

awesome. I think this puts the one Occy was behind to shame...much better. And, dare I say it, even surpasses the Goats Lemoore venue. Just the fact that you can have several people surfing at once is a huge bonus for sure. And the variety on one wave is superior as well I think. Question though....why can't all these pools make the waves twice as big? I mean, as great as this wave pool is, an extra couple of feet in size would really be the business!! Thanks for posting this Stab....

[@truthpursuit8]

Definately possible for sure but i think there are alot of variables to tune in before making it alot bigger. I dont think that actual surf park could take another 2 feet the way it's been designed. Look at the height of the walls for instance. 2foot bigger waves would mean so much more power needed , alot more water moving around. Most likely a shit load more money needed to pull it off, I can see it happening in the future no doubt.

[@langsfordmusicltd283]

@@truthpursuit8 thanks for your comment. Yeah, I get that..the "2 ft" remark was an off the cuff figure, so to speak. I think any extra height on a wave like this, would be welcome for sure.I'm sure in the future ,we'll see things we didn't believe possible!

[@watergraffiti]

What we need in the next wave pool is a grower.... it doesn't take more energy to make a grower, it's related to the bottom. Some times I take off at Jake's on a wide two footer and by the time I'm negotiating the end its 5 foot. That's not more energy that's created that, it's the bottom. So then in a wave pool situation the thing can become a bigger and bigger wave without expending energy....

[@samueldoeslife]

Better than Lemoore IMO. Looks way more fun and ocean like with the warbles. And those settings! WTF.

[@DougieL]

Do the rides look as long though?

[@fastr144]

rides aren't as long as lemoore, nor does i have the size.

[@xwhite2020]

Ill go lemoore before this one. Pretty good though

[@samueldoeslife]

Rides are definitely shorter but your wave count would be super high compared to Lemoore. Surf Ranch is a sick wave, longer and a little bigger but repetitive (meaning no variations) and out of the price range for most. This looks like you could show up with some mates for an afternoon and get barreled repeatedly for the same cost as a round of golf. Would love to know what their going to charge.

The technology for wave pools just keeps getting better and better but I have heard the cost at ones that are operating is about $100 an hour, pretty steep considering the ocean is free but you are guaranteed decent quality waves.

Definitely heavier and bigger barrel, and longer it seems too than Waco's. Huge variety of waves, unlike Waco's as well.

[@mauriziogulina3202]

Just an advertisement video. In Australia no one does anything if there is not a gain. The water is colder than the ocean in winter. Not even a solar panel considered in the project, not an environmental friendly project at all. Exaggerated charges. Stuff make many mistakes in fixing up flaws in the bookings and you end up paying for it. Many people that use that place are cashed up so don’t care about the money that throw at it. They claim that the wave is 12 sec, I think is around 7-9 seconds.
