    Looks expensive and energy wasting . Seeking the surf is part of the fun.

    Interesting idea. Would have been nice to have explained how it works a little bit more rather than showing the same pictures over and over again. Too much like a commercial.
    But I do appreciate the video, it was interesting.

    If Aaron could franchise this out, from Australia to Canada to the UK, this would be fantastic approach for potential enthusiasts that can’t access beaches with the right condition for surfing!

    I don’t know why but I felt so happy to hear Aaron Trevis, the CEO of this company! it has nothing to do with me and most likely in my lifetime I will never have the chance to even see one of these plungers in person, but, to see a person dreaming something (skimming something) and from that pebble to create an ingenious solution that will generate as many millions as smiles, it is just awesome! Congrats to everyone involved. Peace!

    Too bad we cant make artificial reefs to make more waves instead of waves parks. Guess theirs no $$$ in doing that!

    How is the energy to make this thing work going to be produced ?
    And is it really necessary when we have natural waves ?

      It’s just a wench that lifts the cone thing up. Then gravity takes it down. Cant imagine that would require an insane amount of energy.

    That wave machine is amazing, such a good idea. They could build stadiums like other sports and have yearly league as well as yearly tournaments. They could multipurpose the stadiums for other water sports too.
