A wonderful rumour suggests Quik is going to build the ultimate wave park…
Well I just heard the greatest rumor from a mostly reliable source. A rumor that softens my hard heart. A rumor that fires my imagination.
Quiksilver, the world’s most beloved surf brand, may be might be could be opening a club in Las Vegas feat. two wave pools, a Kelly Slater Wave Co Pool and a Wavegarden.
My source gets it right more than he gets it wrong!
And oh hell yes.
It is too perfect, too wonderful, too glorious.
First, I hope the club is actually also a boutique hotel designed by Julia Morgan. I can picture the rooms now! Some baroque, some gothic, all featuring ceilings ripped from French and Italian homes…

Second, I can’t wait for the Las Vegas Invitational presented by TMT (Floyd Mayweather’s the money team) and BeachGrit.
Third, gambling. Real gambling. None of this goofy fantasy bullroar. Just picture sitting around a darkened bar getting progressively more wasted, making progressively riskier bets. “Gimme Canoe Igarasshi n round 4 an hiss secon score forr 10!”
Fourth, sin. Have you ever been with a pack of surfers in Las Vegas? So messy! Their antics would fuel BeachGrit for years!
Fifth, sin.
Sixth…
Seventh, drinnking.
Ninth. I’m drinking sake and eating sushi at a great little place I think you would really like.
Fifth. Gambling.
Thirteenth. How are you not here? At the sushi place? We should be celebrating Quiksilver’s new venture!
Or wait. Let’s just go to Vegas instead.

Why is it that whenever BGrit publishes something about a wave pool, the something feels like the worst idea anyone’s ever had?
Now, if we can increase the amount of good weed and blow and reduce the amount of high grade meth,we are talking. Barrels blow hookers and gambling,jaco is about to shit its pants.
Las Vegas just built a 800 million dollar tunnel to suck dry what left of Lake Mead(38% of capacity). Add a new 650 million dollar pumping station to get said water. Fifteen year drought. Quik should go all in on this.
Because he’s dead!
By dead you mean out of fashion. Julia’s Spanish Colonial isn’t so fresh either.
All this wave pool hype makes me think of that one episode of the Simpsons.

I wish i could put a picture of kelly in that stupid hat and suit right now…
but will Quiksilver have to get a license from the KS wave pools , and or the WSL , and does the rumor that Ziffy and trumpy are building the wall , and creating the worlds longest wave pool from Florida to Cal , with Trump resorts , working with Quiksilver or Quikrorts , and why not vegas as the new HQ?
Anybody else heard Firewire bought Channel Islands?
Don’t blow tomorrow’s rumor, Morris!
FireWire buying Channel Island. That’s one hell of an expensive way for Slater to get back on a decent board…
Whoa whoa whoa, two of the most incredible well built non generic surfboard companies joining forces? This is like split 500 and gotcha merging.
Both? Wh…. Why..?
and that man’s name was Moe Greene.
Get your eyeball shot out talking about that…
Oh Quiksilver, bless your heart. You never learn.
