Surf Ranch

About

While the surf community and surf entrepreneurs seem to be anxious to ride and build copies of the beautiful Wavegarden, there is one man taking notes - Kelly Slater.

The Kelly Slater Wave Company promises what at present seems impossible: the best robotic surf ride in the history of the sport.

"Cool, they made a wave, but I think you'll all be very happy when you see what we have in store," said Slater on his Twitter account, after the Wavegarden crew unveiled their creation.

In December 2015, the surfer-businessman revealed his Surf Ranch, a dreamy wave pool capable of pumping flawless tubes. The Surf Ranch is closed to the public, but the first commercial facility is set to open in Florida in 2019.
