No doubt there is a market but this looks incredibly expensive to maintain and operate. Ignoring the normal insane taxes,regs etc, just the cost of a large pool is high. The electricity to run this monster has to be incredible. If/when it needs repairs or fails, you are going to be down days if not a week.Water+moving machinery= lots of problems.
Not bad. But I'm glad I live at the beach. The cool part about surfing is you just need a surfboard and that's it. The waves are free and made by nature. It could get really expensive surfing a wave pool on a regular basis. That's one of the biggest down sides I see. Maybe they would offer a family package where you and your kids could get a big discount for a season. It would be way too expensive to pay for yourself and your kids individually.

Anyone ever thought of making a circular wave pool? Would save energy-being a big cost-one pulse going in a circle.
Is this a Kelly wave?
