Pool surfers’ lives are in tatters this morning after it was revealed Australia’s first commercial wave pool would remain closed after freak “mud rain” that left the facility with a brown tank.
From Urbnsurf,
Since the wild dust storm rained mud on us last night, our dedicated crew of facilities technicians, divers, robotic vacuum cleaners, sweepers and even lifeguards have been scrubbing non-stop to return our surfing lagoon to its usual crystal-blue state. Regrettably (due to the thick nature of the dust) we’re still hard at work cleaning our lagoon, and in the interests of our guests’ health and safety, @urbnsurf #melbourne will be closed tomorrow, Friday 24 January 2020.
An act of God that must’ve taken the joint’s PR team by surprise given “mud-rain” is unlikely to’ve made it onto the list of potential closures.
Death, turds, paralysis, board through an eyeball, lightning, hail, these you can prepare for and mount compelling responses to.
But to be shat on from outer space?
Meanwhile, tears have been flowing on the company’s IG account as punters struggle to come to terms with the chaos of life.
Oh no! How is Saturday looking? I was booked in for the 9th of Jan and did my back on the 8th of Jan so missed out. my rebook is for this Saturday. Please tell me it’s all going to be ok… and it’s my 40th today, I’ll head down after work tomorrow and give you a hand cleaning it if you need?
We’ve literally just landed in Melbourne having flown from Sydney especially for tomorrow at your pool, having booked two sessions each the second they came live. You could have given us some warning yesterday/this morning?? Please please find a way to fit us in this weekend on your rights? We’ve booked flights, a car, two sessions… it’s been an incredibly expensive weekend
There was some good advice to be had, howevs.
4ft and offshore on the surf coast tommrow. Would rather be there!
you guys should head down to the surfcoast , it’ll be pumping and a lot of us are back at work now , so there will be a few less crowded breaks. Two days of great swell , adventure and sun – free of charge
If you’ve got a sesh booked at Urbnsurf, hit ’em up via email ([email protected]) for updates.
Phones are aching with traffic. You ain’t gonna get through.

Scrub that filthy mudhole down under !!…says my wife to me almost daily
Shouldn’t they have just a massive Kreepy Crawly vacuum??
Or a giant bath plug , like when junior takes a dump in his nightly excursion of ” is it human or animal ” whilst peeling back the layers of natures embrace. Far easier . Pull , drain , remove the child first or not , refill, problem sorted.
Hit it with a Gerni.
problem is they just hosed it all of the walk way straight into the pool. that’s the method I used to employ when I was working for a Gardner. spotless yard and generated work for the pool man
Cycle of life
Shit is thick and everywhere.
And yes, there are some waves real around atm.
Urbnsrf pool cleaners missed a perfect chance to draw a giant dong. Would’ve been epic, people flying in could see it for miles
They lack your creative sensibilities.

Meanwhile at the womens tennis
…a wang beats a willie…
At the top of the photo is evidence of a man pushing the vac.
Then they brought in a couple of The Real Housewives of Tulla; glass BBQs in hand and bobs your uncle
Teams of tweakers would have that thing spotless in a day. IF they were on a freshie
Wldnt they do the same bit ten times?
One tweaker for every square yard?
Well spotted
Day 2 of the rolling coverage. Need to line up some self proclaimed experts to provide wild speculation.
I heard Bridget McKenzie was made an honorary member of the pool just before handing out a $1m grant during construction, now they’re trying to disappear the paper trail under cover of mud.
What would Greta say?
You shall not pass!
Wait, was that Greta or Gandalf
Sweden was one of those we don’t care countries during the war.
Trading with meth addled monsters
Get fuked Greta.
Two faced climate whore
Loved AbbA tho

I’m not listening to anyone who doesn’t have a degree in economics
I wish…life..could..be….Swe-dish mag-a-zines….
Yep. Sat back and made explosives, Gustav submachine guns, Carl Gustav recoilless gun and my favorite, the Bofors 40mm auto cannon to sell to everyone. Husqvarna dirt bikes were cool, Roxette, Ace of Base- surely a favorite of Karl Von Fanningstadt!

Sounds like America. Made a killing
Made a killing off killing. The Bofors was licensed to Chrysler and, I think, IBM to manufacturer them here.
Sand bottom
Problem?
It feels a bit gritty but you get used to it
Zactly
Dodgey! They’re just trying to cover up a shark sighting !
Greg Fucking Norman!
The USA now have a ” Space force” the sharks are retaliating with the ” mud force “. Must be hell on the molars though.
I think we need to be on high alert to the threat of sharks! There are more shark species with legs than we previously thought…no longer just the epaulette shark !! They are evolving to make their way into the wave pools of the world we aren’t doing enough to protect the pool users. The Mud is only the start!! we need some strong reaction to this obvious first asault
Ah the joys of owner-maintained pools! Once they go green or brown, you are fucked. Endless filter cleans, dumping hundreds of dollars of chemicals, chlorine level checks. Torture
pool here green as croc tank spent 1000s to get it right – then kids hardly swam thru holidays fuck me!!!
Pretty much everywhere has waves except the pool. Sad!
Oh nick stop being such a sorry sod and brighten up our day with a positive comment 🙂
The situation deserve an extra stanza in an Alanis Morissette song.
Like right after “would she go down in you in a theater”?
Yes she has!
And also driving around that big roundabout in London.
You know that one where Chevy Chase got stuk.

To completion?
A few laps
Then just after Harrods.
True love.
It’s like oxygen.
What all boils down to is no one’s got it figured out just yet
All sing along…. “Like muddddddyyyyy raaaaaaiiiiiiin… on your surfing day.”
That’s why there aren’t enough bodies to clean it. “Surfer labour. Grumph huffle huffle…”
Jeep: “I’d surf that muck.”
