“Revel Surf is a place where the small envision big and the broke feel rich..."
California surfers awoke, this morning, with cars packed for an exciting surf adventure. They made themselves hot cups of coffee, sprinkled with Laird Superfood Creamer, checked the air pressure in the tires, found the new FKA Twigs album on Spotify then pointed east, away from the ocean, to the newest, and closest, surf tub.
Revel Surf, in Mesa, Arizona, has officially swung its gates wide freeing the aforementioned wave sliders from the whims of Mammy Nature. The swell lagoon utilizes Wavegarden technology and offers four levels of experience. Level I, “Learn to Surf,” costs $119 per session. Level II, “San O,” costs $129 and is for those who enjoy longboarding in manmade waves. Level III, “The Bu,” also at $129, promises “a small point wave that will be a little bigger and faster than San O.” Level IIII, “Lowers,” bumps up to $139 and is the high-performance offering.
Sessions average 10 – 12 waves per participant.
Founder Cole Cannon bullishly declared, “Revel Surf is a place where the small envision big, the broke feel rich, and immutable memories are forged daily. Revel Surf at Cannon Beach truly is the intersection of lifestyle and adrenaline.”
I am broke but would like more than to just feel rich. I would like to be rich too.
The beach portion is free until Feb. 28 and features sand imported from Florida’s panhandle. How much do you reckon a pound of panhandle sand goes for on the open market?
Can I get rich there?
I imagine trucking sand across the contiguous 47, from Pensacola to Mesa would also be at the intersection of lifestyle and adrenaline.
Very cool.

it is NOT a Wavegarden – shoddy research Chaz! It’s their own in-house tech called Swell Technology. We wish it was a WG but it’s a short wave that is set up a lot like the PSSC set up (which is a Waveloch). 2-3 turns on a split peak with about 12 surfers per session surfing that and sounds like a reform for the inside foam boarders. WG is a far superior surf park experience.
Stopped by Revel in late Dec and the Lagoon was closed to the public. It appears to still be closed BUT the staff is incredibly friendly and the place is unique. The Unit Surf Pool is impressive as long as you dont fall and fracture your elbow… https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Don’t forget to wear a handgun like everyone else in the state. Open carry, even in bars.
You sound scared lol
Are there locals ?

Very good one, I will bring some tobacco.
Open carry I guess.
YES! They offer a heavy dose of well behaved employees and the day I was there the guests were good looking by the standards Chas adheres to in his daily prose.
“Revel Surf is a place where the small envision big” – What constitutes small? If you’re over the threshold, what should I envision?
Im South Vic in Oz. I’m already broke so by the time I get there, I doubt I’ll feel anything but fucking broke.
little people. short on mind and long on mouth…
One pound of panhandle sand = 1 gold toof
8.1 ozs per tons of substrate from coring. Gold~woof~
At some point someone needs to step up and make a Mavericks wave
Lunada bay, sneek in, chased out.
3D in’ plastic’s…molds~
Already been done. Bikini Atoll 1946.
What are the summer rates?
You’d have to use oven mits to drive your car there, but on the positive side there’s a chance you could find a new pet gila monster on the side of the road.

tex-mex platos en Modesto~
For sure. They had 113 consecutive days at or above 100° F last year.
You want this wave in 100 degree desert weather! https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Should be free when it is 110 degrees
