Wavegarden (Extended) from wavegarden on Vimeo.

“Hey lets go surf the lake today.” Yeah we could say that soon. Engineer Josema Odriozala and sports economist Karin Frisch got bored with building skate parks for whining skater brats. So they built wavegarden.

Ok so we’ve all been to the mushy pee-filled wave parks in the US but this is different. These guys found a way to transform existing bodies of water into functioning barreling waves. And it’s environmentally friendly.

The worlds newest artificial wave has been successfully tested and surfed by a few pro surfers in Basque country including Bobby Martinez who twittered

“found a goofy footers dream yesterday!!!!!! let me put it like this…the window never closes!!!!!!!! Hahaha”

Right now the wave maxes out at out at about 4 feet with an almond shape barrel.

Without getting into the physics of the design, The shore has to have a particular contour while a specifically designed profile pushes the water towards the shore.

All this means is that fully landlocked lake rednecks are going to be on the professional tour someday..
