Staff layoffs? Remodelling of superseded wave tank?
Who would’ve thought that, one day, Bible-raising, silver-crucifix-hanging-on-the-review-mirror-with-machine- guns-in-the-trunk Texas, would be giving surfers honeymoon dick?
Little ol’ BSR Cablepark in Waco stood the world upside down this year when its Hawaiian magician Cheyne Magnusson turned an unremarkable wavepool technology into something capable of creating the world’s best section for airs.
And then came the brain-eaters.
One hundred miles south of Waco is Austin, home to America’s first commercial wavepool, NLand Surf Park, which opened two years ago. Its owner, Doug Coors, paid for the exclusive rights to Wavegarden in Texas, pushing BSR into the arms of American Wave Machines.
And, oowee, how did…that…work out?
Anyway, according to rumours swinging around the Central Texas Surf Club Facebook page, “insiders at both parks” say NLand will be closed for all of 2019, with a new-look opening in 2020.
The money is on this theory: NLand was losing steam to BSR and the investors made the call to invest in new technology, either remodelling the old design into the newer, more American Wave Machine-ish Cove or overhauling the original machine to “make it more compelling.”
I hit up the club to ask ’em if the brain-eaters scared hell out of ’em?
One nice man replied: “We all love BSR. Nothing stopping any of us from surfing it again. Especially knowing how much Stuart (Parsons) is investing in the new filtration. To be honest, he was very on top of ensuring water quality control even before so we never second guessed it. I actually cracked my head during one session so figure if the amoeba didn’t take the invite then it prob won’t ever.
“Seriously though, we’re all transplant surfers from all over the world and we have all come to grips with the fact that we have all surfed, and continue to surf breaks that would never be considered truly clean and safe. I moved here a few years ago and surfed during and after storms in Orange County and always got sick. I have seen some really scary stuff float out of the river jetties…”
Meanwhile, giant plungers are set to take over the world!
(But not Switzerland. They’re going Wavegarden Cove.)
The only “Bible-waggers” I’ve seen lately are sweet little old black ladies on the way to Sunday school.
I’ve never seen anyone with a crucifix hanging off the rear view mirror. Catholics have them, not Bible waggers.
“Machine guns” are still illegal.
Doing do diligence in your research instead of puking out severely worn out cliques would go a long way for your credibility.

Spoken like a true ignorant uneducated leftist retard!
The mountains ! The highways ! The tennis courts ! Pointy roofed structures !
Surfing, Swiss style.
By god, that’s inspiring.
Federer be backing it for sure!!
I would have thought the Swiss would have gone for a pool with a train and a strict schedule
Nah, just quietly accepting gazillions of ill-gotten waves and securing them in vaults deep in the mountains.
Maybe they’re gonna hook it up with the super collider.
Yes it is an on going conCERN and definitely making waves in the smashing particle world of which we are made up of and surf on ?
Seems like it’s a dud.
Big bang
Good one Prof.
With chocolate terminals!
Your kinks overfloweth.
But no minarets! This is Switzerland, afterall.
choc milk filled pool. all you can drink and no paddling. a fat mans dream
cheesy
Most guys are happy just to do a few reos.
So cough bullshit on the more compelling reason.
More like, “” can we make it less like a Petri dish”
Let me alleviate that theory: https://beachgrit.com/2016/…
And so, “NLand collects rainwater and channels it to a wet pond where it’s bio-filtered by algae and fish before moving into a deep reservoir and filtration system for treatment.”
But, dang, now that I think of it…does the fungus and fish angle…work?
From the CDC: “Naegleria fowleri can grow in pipes, hot water heaters, and water systems, including treated public drinking water systems. You cannot get infected from drinking water contaminated with Naegleria. You can only be infected when contaminated water goes up into your nose.”
So….no

Thats some sticky make up
I can here the coach “ Now the Synchronized Swimming part is great but for the facial expressions ,try to recreate one of those Laughing Clowns you see on sideshow alley but go deeper and darker and imagine they were carved in Hell “ ?
I don’t know what they’re on, but I want some.
reckon they get taken seriously at dinner parties?
Im gonna go with green hair and chlorine over some mutant fish and his algal mate.
Water looks the goods in that wave garden video above.
Where is that one?
That’s the best one I’ve seen for the average unsuccessful punter
It’s gonna be in the southern hunk of Switzerland, real close to the Matterhorn. Very good trains there, as mentioned earlier.
I wonder how much they resisted chlorine because it would green some of the boys bleached locks? Never thought about that.
sounds like a bad hook up.
