Surf Lakes' 5 Waves | The Official Corporate Video
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Surf Lakes launched its official corporate video.
Its purpose is to highlight the benefits and competitive advantages of Surf Lakes' 5 Waves technology to potential licensees.
Testing and live demonstrations have been continuing with success at the R&D facility in Yeppoon, Central Queensland.
The Australian wave pool company is hosting several licensee groups from the USA, UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
"Interest is so strong from around the world that we will be hosting more demonstrations to licensees in December 2019 and January 2020," underlines Surf Lakes.
At the moment, these sessions are closed to the media.
The artificial wave pool developers say that they have several groups who have signed a Heads of Agreement with Surf Lakes to construct a commercial surf lagoon facility in their respective areas.
"While the prototype facility has been pumping out perfect waves now for a while, our goal is to build a commercial facility open to the public as soon as possible," the company adds.
"We hope to be able to start this process in the coming months with several groups eager to start in early 2020."
"Until a commercial site is up and running, we will continue to operate the prototype site and do regular demonstrations for licensees, shareholders, media, and special guests. It is also being used to develop our training and safety systems."
Surf Lakes promises more surf breaks than any other wave pool, the largest variety of peaks, the highest user capacity (2,000 waves per hour), the largest wave height, and no machinery or fences next to the surfers.

How long untill the public can go here?
Brilliant business model. Probably not the best pool produced wave, but certainly the most diverse and economical opportunities for multi faceted business models hands down.
It's an interesting one, indeed. And it's great news for landlocked surfers, too. ;)
What an extraordinary achievement right here in Q. Really like the no fence.
Indeed. The no-fence feature is a commercial advantage. No one can deny that. ;)
@Steve Sherman Come on, Steve. We're just trying to keep the discussion up and running.
@Steve Sherman Well, don't worry then. This is will be our last reply to you. Just to tell you that we didn't write "Stephen" because your UA-cam profile says "Steve Sherman" - with a "v," not with a "ph." Enjoy the holiday season.
@Steve Sherman WTF is wrong with you SteVen?! Get a life you miserable twat!
@Steve Sherman Is everything ok Stevo? How's the blood pressure mate?
Just missing a few sharks to give it that authentic aussie feel!
That is probably the only thing we don't need in there. ;)
@Steve Sherman How could we? 😆
At least put some rubber motorised sharks in there to spice things up a bit.
5putput chlorine ?
Put some salt also
Its not as big as I expected, but honestly everything around it looks amazing.The nice clear water, the machine itself, the way the wave breaks, the amount of waves and probably the cost. It does not replace the ocean, it could never. But we have periods of weeks with no swell around here, I would rather go here then DO NOTHING at all. For the Netherlands/Belgium/Germany/Northeast Engeland something like this could have real potential because of our lack of regular swell
You've said it all, Ry. It's much better than having nothing. And it's the perfect gift for landlocked surfers and riders from the countries you've mentioned. ;)
talk to dubai investors. they are all over this sort of sweet stuff
It was all cool until you said 30 people per peak
FUN RAIN FILMS don’t go to Kirra or Bondi then. 30 people is nothing for those breaks
@@hannesmonaghan8905 Well, that's a good point, Hannes. 👏🏻
Oi, Oi, Oi, Oi...
Keep in mind there's wave after wave after wave. No unpredictable lulls etc And, since everyone paid and is monitored, no need to hassle. Just line up and go. Miss a wave? go to the end of the line. Eff up the take off? Go to the end of the line. You'll still get way more than at your homebreak per hour.
Chris Bane shark island. Never crowded.
When this technology advances this is going to be a game changer for surfing. Give it 10 years, theres going to to be perfect 20 foot waves nonstop. This will eventually change surfing
StandardDAO, is working across the globe for 25 footer. They have one project identified. Unfortunately can’t share location. Stay tuned.
3 years on and no game change.
@@mackash well fuck sorry I didn't predict the future man. I let you down and I'm sorry
If I was a billionaire I would build one of these in my backyard
Would you build one just for us? ;)
Dynamite would do it!
@JESUSISGODALLMIGHTY umm everyone? or do you just bodysurf? haha
@JESUSISGODALLMIGHTY yea what kind of idiot pays to surf when you can just drive down to the beach in a $10000 car using $10 of petrol then putting on a $400 wetsuit and riding your $700 board
Luka Forman don’t be an ass , not everyone lives near the ocean
Thank you for making such a beautiful innovation. Now thousands of lives can be saved from deepening into wather ❤
Best wave pool design yet. This can actually go places.
It's definitely one of the best. We still think there's work to be done, though. ;)
Literally one of the sickest things I have ever seen
I kno a lake full of pee
;-)
Fairbanks Air Riders the ocean is a big body of water full of dead bodies, blood, piss, poop, oil, mercury, and any kind of substance you can think of lmao
Really cool technology. In theory, if you double the size of the machine, the wave will double in size as well. This could be the future of wave pool technology, and endless possibilities.
It is a cool, simple and smart idea. Hopefully, it will be scalable, as you suggest. ;)
One weekend a month you should set it to 11, and have ten foot waves and let the experienced riders test the boundaries.
I'm in lol
i think theyre gonna test out the settings with the pros and then possibly have a pro comp on insane slabs
You would have to scale the whole thing up to make ten footers. From here it looked like it was maxed out at about 3 feet.
@@josephastier7421 not true
@@commie281 Measuring from the back, how high would you estimate the biggest waves in this video?
Wow this is super cool! Nowhere can you have this.incredible place to practice and have a blast!
You take my idea from my brain and made it a reality. Now I know it was a good idea. Thanks
by the way, I need that in Madrid
It looks amazing and for youngster it's the safty aspect no rip currents just full on safty and once the holiday let's and hotel is done god you would never leave the pool but let's hope they keep the numbers in the water sensible. Keep up the good work. 👍
I was sceptical when I first saw it but now I'm sold, I want one!!! Rick Kane would be fizzing.
That's it, Shan. Another option for when the surf's flat, sharky or choppy. And yes, perhaps we need a "North Shore 2". ;)
@@surfertoday Hahaha, if Rick Kane had one of these in Arizona he would never have left to the North Shore🤣
@@shanngatihine5500 Absolutely! 😂
I will be investing when given the chance. This is the future
Awesome waves!! Great job guys :)
Super good idea would love to surfa there. Great job guys !!!!!
Looks good, I tried snowdonia surf and did not like it much. This looks MUCH better with a full 360 access.
Still liking jetboards much more with a full freedom of surf! cheers
Awesome Greatest Thing That could Happen for The Kids of the Future Up There Yeppoon Only thing that has to stop Bullying in and Around the Surf Plz Dont Let this Not Happen
This looks amazing! What does energy consumption look like?
We have a surf lake in wales, U.K., it’s sick, it uses a hydraphoil, and pulls along the length of the lake, a bit like kelly slaters , but with a wave on either side ! We get 6 ft waves from it ,
They are defo the future during summer when the swells are low and few and far between
Only so many places this will work.
Baldwin County, Alabama is one of them.
Home to the one of the world’s top 5 most pristine beaches. We have plenty of fresh water (Mobile, Alabama ranks amongst the top rainfall cities in US.) We have the perfect weather and healthy tourism.
Baldwin County is also amongst the top places people are moving to from California, Texas, Vegas, and alike.
Nathan Cox just sold Truland Homes for $800m. He needs to get on board. He surfs. It’s just not his idea, yet.
This is ridiculously, amazingly awesome and I need one in my backyard.
Let's build it, Brandon. ;)
@@surfertoday I'm sure it requires more than a few million in funding. If I had the means, I'd certainly be willing!
@@brandontaylor2790 Yes, it may be a bit expensive as, shall we say, a "personal treat."
You guys are on to something big ,but you already know that I like your concept is pretty awesome!
I would love to surf that level 4 and slab but I think what’s even better is that you’ve got the opportunity to surf with my top favorite surfers Occy!! Lol just to get to surf with him would make the whole trip without a doubt
We would love to join you on that session. ;)
I was all in until you wanted to build condos and hotels. What a nightmare.
Right because they’re gonna make these and operate for free
Like a ski resort? Sounds like fun
the visitors should stay in tents and the part should operate for free based on the surf spirits and energy of the sun?
@Grishnakhracist dickhead.
@@nate3274 No, you will pay a hefty themepark ticket price to get in, then you will ALSO be surrounded by hotels and condos
*Interesting.*
*I think the key to open, and understand this "Doorway", is Universal Consciousness, something we humans have, but are being manipulated from accessing.*
*Knowledge is Power, and power is greedily sought after by evil.*
*If only the majority of this world's population would tilt the scale towards good, I feel miraculous abilities could be naturally accessible.*
*Sadly, currently, I feel Evil has persuaded the majority to ignore the Ten Commandments.*
Mad Max Surf Machine
Amazing technology! Lot of awesome real estate opportunities but did you manage to add an eco friendly dimension to your project? We are in 2019 guys 😉
Shut up
Sacale up double and have the generator go up higher to create a bigger tsunami- .im sure its on tha way.....absolutely brilliant...THIS is the design for the future.....Good on ya!
The economics must be sweet compared to Kelly's pool in California (not that he's doing it to make money). More waves (no reset), more people per wave, more skill levels. Well done gents!
We share the same opinion, Jim. This is nearly ready for licensing and, apparently, has a sustainable business plan. 😉
They don't show you how long it takes for the water to calm down enough to get those nice shots of the first couple waves. The interference by the returning water will create one hell of a chop if you run these waves continuously. That's basic physics. The reset may be less than slater's wave, but it's definitely there. plus the amount of energy to create 5 waves is equal to 5 times the energy to create one wave. They're skipping out talking about that part too.
Crazy !
Water world in Denver Colorado needs one of these
Better than Kelly's wave? No. But a totally different business model and love that they have progression through 5 different wave models.
Surf Ranch is $10,000 per hour. You could fly to Hawaii and hang out at your choice of beaches for a month for half that.
@@josephastier7421 You ever tried to catch some waves off the locals in Hawaii brother?
@@alexreid4131 I have not. Most of my experience has been in Mexico. The locals there will sometimes literally ask you "are you a good surfer". The right words in Spanish, and you get your chance to respectfully wait. A bravely ridden wave, and they forget about you being from somewhere else.
I suppose that to get any kind of respect in Hawaii, you must speak the correct dialect of Hawaiian?
Bring one to Puerto Rico I think is going to be sick 🔥
Why not? :)
No concrete walls and cage fencing- nice. When will public surfers get to surf surflakes??!!
It's is still a closed, test-only facility. But they're building a public in the Gold Coast. 🤙🏻
I don't understand, right now my Yacht is anchored in the Mediterranean Sea near Corsica (Calvie).
Every day i take my surfboard and there is no more than 2-3 other people.
Why would anyone need this, i also like the 360 degree "feature". They really seem to be proud of this genius move....;)
If you owned a yacht you would not call it a yacht, and you would also know that the word is not capitalized.
@@josephastier7421 Are you telling me, that in the 25 Months duration SuperYachtsMonaco did build my explorer yacht from Scratch they lied to me?
This is outrageous!
I'm gonna call them immediately after i had my Espreso, don't you worry!
PS. The weather was not really pleasant the last couple of days so we had to move on to Sardinien (Sardinia, costa smeralda).
Cheers
The tourism possibilities from having these in north Qld and and the Northern Territory or inland northern nsw , could take pressure off the overcrowded Agro fuelled coastal beach breaks
I grew up around one of the original wave pools in Arizona. Would love to get one of these in Abilene, TX. When you find it on the map you would see why we need it so bad 😂
You're right, Randall. You deserve it. Hopefully, the Surf Ranch will revamp the old Nland Surf Park. At least, you would have a wave pool 215 miles away from Abilene. ;)
Ever meet a guy named Rick there? Used to dominate in the 80's. Went to Hawaii for a while before moving to New York I think.
That machine looks terrifying
What I love the most is the fact that you will definitely feel like you are surfing in the ocean because it's so big and that's no machine or walls close to you... But I still think the wave is losing energy too fast after the barrel, in general it is amazing and will probably get even better in the future.
That's it, Pablo. It looks good, but it will definitely be improved in the upcoming months. ;)
How much power must this thing consume
all of it
Actually less than other surf parks "apparently"
Not much when you actually think about it. It's just hydraulics.
I heard renewable energy .
It can produce 2000 waves a day ... like go in your swimming pool with your boogie board and make waves ? Same principal as this it’s like a toilet plunger . Only danger would be if some idiot got to close to the middle and either got hurt or drowned lol
Amazing of technology .....
Awesome.
That's sick
Dope!
Looks sick i gotta say
Way more of a fun looking experience than Slater's wave. Make something like that in California. Coachella Valley's got something in development I hear, maybe not 'surround sound' like this.
Awesome well done
I'm sure in the coming future the size of waves and wave pool design will increase, it will have to if it wants to compete in the market with Urbnsurf
Daz B this shits all over urban surf.
I know this is one wave pool I’ve been actually dying to surf.
Should let locals try it out.... its private pro’s only shut off entirely to the public
This will help keep the kooks in the valley!!!
Kooks are everywhere. But we guess they're just part of the game. 😉
Take my money!!!
Salt Lake City Utah would be a great site for this type of attraction. Warm summers, plenty of sun for solar power to assist power output. A lot of people have to haul a boat to a reservoir in the mountains here to do surfing behind boats. There isn't any other easy way to a beach. Most of the resevoir beaches here are packed in the summer bc there aren't enough sites for people to enjoy a beach.
30 surfers per break. Is it every man for themselves or will there be order in the line up?
From a rational perspective, we think there should be a queue. Otherwise, many "customers" will complain and may not return. ;)
Part of our testing is to work out the priority system. Will then provide this to licensees and train them on it. Each break does 300 + waves per hr so 30 surfers will get 10 waves per hr each.
@@reubenbuchanan742 That's really interesting. And it's an important part of the equation. Thanks for the update. ;)
@@surfertoday no probs and thanks for your support. You guys always provide great coverage!
@@reubenbuchanan742 Thank you for your kind words. You're doing a great work, too. Cheers.
Málaga (Spain) is a good place to build a similar pool. A mediterranean city almost without waves, but with a lot of surfers.
Can somebody tell what is costs and what all is needed, sizewise, depth etc .
sooooooo awesome!!
Rlly cool hopefully u can make more in different areas??
Yes. They're currently showcasing the technology to potential licensees.
I thought this was an April Fools joke until I dig a little deeper. It is real and of course is in Australia.
Booking a sesh asap
Looks good. Can you (are you) power this off renewables? Solar/wind and a VRFB for storage would do the trick.
Hi, Mike. We're sure they have already thought of that. However - and we're not energy experts - can renewable energy produce enough power to activate the giant mechanism?
@@surfertoday I don't see why not. A battery can produce instant power when required. Can't see this being a growth industry if it's a big carbon emitter. 2021 renewables on track to exceed coal in the USA for first time re power generation.
@@mikeg6606 Perfect. We didn't know that. ;)
@@mikeg6606 instance is not the issue but the length of time it takes to charge the battery. Plus the power consumption is going to be huge, you'd need a ton of cells. Battery production is not exactly green.
Chuck a few sharks in there and an off shore breeze perfect. Recipe for the ultimate fun.
The wave starts off with good energy for the first 4 or 5 meters of the ride and then looks to run out of juice. I needs to be 3 or 4 times the size to start off with and then something needs to be done so the wave sustains energy as it moves down the line. Perhaps A wave starting off with this 5 waves technology and then as the wave peters out there is a back up wave machine that completes the ride.
To be honest. It looks fun but it is a long long way behind Waco, Melbourne and Lemore wave pools.
It's a valid opinion. But we believe they're still trying to figure out ways of improving the overall wave riding experience. Fingers crossed! ;)
@@surfertoday Hopefully they can pump up the juice
@@user-jy7yn1ro8j That's it. ;)
Looks like fun. But..."Wave face height up to 2.4 meters" 🤔
2.4 feet...imagine in 10 years,things will be off its head...
Mid Coast Adventures... Ummmm jealous much?
Haha I have brought this up too. They call it from the sand up. It's only good for boogies... And children. The videos show it
@@hankdapper8239 Most surfers would just love to ride these waves, I don't get why you are so negative about it?.
nah man I think its because its in Australia and they use metric system, right?
Wow super
is it open to the public
Not yet. It's a test facility.
I think I heard mention of the plunger pumping away consistently and actually rebounding partly from the back fill of the previous plunge, is that how it works?
Probably. But we're not sure whether the center system is always pumping waves or not. Probably not, otherwise waves would behave differently and eventually overlap themselves. But we could be wrong. ;)
Yes thats correct. The system lifts it up, then it falls down under gravity into the water which drives out the wave. As its buoyant it then bobs back up again. The system them drives it further for the next stroke. We do 4 to 6 strokes in a row only. The lake settles in about 1min and we can then run another "set"
Need one in Perth ASAP
Where is this located and is it open to the public? I can surf but now have difficulty paddling distance or against current due to a neck injury. This would be perfect for me. I would come and stay for a week. As I haven't been able to surf good waves for years 😢 Hope they build one on the Goldy.
It is located in Yeppoon, Central Queensland, Australia. But it still is a test facility, Gibbet. It is not yet open to the public. We believe it will be only a matter of a couple of years before this technology becomes available to everyone of us. 😉
Wow! Great and Amazing footage!👍 subscribe your channel .
They should decorate the big plunger in the middle as a fake grass island and dress that pointy shaft in the middle as a thick palm tree or light house, give it all that natural appeal to the look of the overall lake when filmed from up high and long shots etc...
They need a live feed cam
That's an interesting idea, Harris. However, there could be privacy violation rights issues involved. ;)
@@surfertoday ski resorts do it all the time
fresh or salt water ? is there a difference between fresh and salt water waves ?
Good shit
How do experienced surfers compare this wave to the Surf Ranch wave?
This wave pool has five different waves. Even a slab for experienced bodyboarders.
"I hear he learned how to surf in a wave tank in Arizona. "
Arizona?
"Go shred"
See? Wave pools may very well be the starting point of a very successful Championship Tour career. 😉
"I've seen bigger waves in me toilet bowl".
Nobody listens to Turtle.
How much power is neccessary to create the waves?
Who is behind the Las Vegas Surf Lake as I would like to see if I could be of service. I want this to happen. I look forward to your response.
If i would let's say want this exact model made in the Philippines....how much would it cost?
Surfing in the ocean will be a thing of the past ...
What would be the price to build this paradise?
Is it me or does the Piston look rusted? Or is it painted that color? If it is rusted, why don't they coat it so the ozodized metal doesn't affect the water quality? Can't help but think that it would.
It a good question, Chris. But we're sure Surf Lakes have already thought of it. 👍🏻
The pro and expert levels looks like theirs a steep drop on the takeoff. I wonder if that’s what they wanted or is it still in the R&D stage. Maybe smooth that spot out and not have such a steep drop. Other than that looks super fun.
Hi, Anthony. We believe it was their intention to create that steep, hollow wave. It is perfect for bodyboarders, and only advanced surfers will be able to ride it as it is. ;)
SurferToday.com 👍

The only thing that could make this better is colour coded carparks where you could fight people who drop in on you. Carparks to fight in for beginners right the way through to pros.
Now that's what we call a good sense of humor, Daniel. Would you beat or get beaten? ;)
@@surfertoday Depends which carpark I'm in. Looks like a great setup guys. All the best!
@@danielstewart3507 😆🤙🏻
Is this the one coming to Gilbert, AZ?
60 surfers splitting each peak ?? How many times does each peak break ( in reality not in theory ) ?
We guess it's just a prediction based on the space available and the number of waves the pool produces per hour. ;)
Surf RANCH the best wave.
So cool
Should market to china. They have indoor ski resorts and parks. I’m assuming this would be much cheaper in all aspects.
China has already built their own surf pool concept. It is similar to Wavegarden 1.0 and Kelly Slater's Surf Ranch. Watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/AkpivzRjenk/v-deo.html
what is the water temperature?
Does the water roll out in a current like in the ocean 🌊 like the conveyor belt
Illuminating the water with cool colors and light up or glowing surfboards could make for something cool
What would be the cost on something like this? I need one
amazing
Is it only for surfing, or can you boogie board?
In the future, it will be open to bodyboarders. In fact, the most difficult wave was inspired and especially designed for them. 😉
