Turn On The Hype Machine!

Teaser I from wavegarden on Vimeo.




There was some mysterious rumor going around yesterday that there was this secret wave machine in Spain and it's big unveiling is happening February 15th. What's interesting about the videos is that they show a wave being pushed along a shoreline of a pond, lake, or ditch and they put plastic sheets along the shoreline to stop erosion. Most wave machines of course are 100% man made in an outdoor pool or housed in a dome. What the Spanish wave machine must mean is that it's portable and you just drop it in a body of water.  The videos look legit- I don't think they're doctored. The waves aren't that big- maybe waist high+ but I'm assuming you can make a bigger wave with a better machine or different type of body of water/shoreline to focus the energy from the machine. Regardless, have a look at the videos and decide for yourself if this thing looks fun or not...
