Surfing Pools
The
concept of perfect waves, on tap, is the "wet dream" of every
surfer. They think of 4-5 ft barrels, easy waves,
difficult waves and endless combinations... all at the turn of a switch.
Sanctuary
Beach has the technology, skills and patents to bring that dream into
reality. Dr Black's company Surf Pools Pty Ltd was the research group
behind the development of large inland surfing pools in the USA.
Unfortunately, the American team failed at the start of the Global
Financial Crisis and and only the large test pool
was built. Small, surfable barrels proved the
technology.
More
than $3 million was spent on R&D funded in part by the Government of
New Zealand under Dr Black's guidance, and the technology was fully
developed and proven.

For
the first time since the GFC, Sanctuary Beach is now enlivening this
technology again to make world's leading inland surfing pools.
We
know about Webber and his topedo, Slater and his
massive round pool and others who have shown that waves for surfing are
possible. We're not playing with endless waves or circular pools. Our waves
are in a large pool or lake and they run along the shore... just like
nature ... except that computer-controlled robotic machines generate the
waves.
We
know it can be done because science laboratories have been making quality
research waves for decades and Dr Black's own laboratory in Hamilton (New
Zealand) made big-scaled waves that endlessly barrelled. Dr Black blended
the science with the practicalities to

turn "scientific reality
into surfer's dreams". Our unique knowledge of reefs in the sea allows
us to sculpt the lake or pool to produce anything from soft to barrel
breakers.
Our
favourite option is the inland surfing lake in a residential development. Residents
and their invited friends can surf. Land developers who want to exchange
the golf course for a surfing lake should contact Sanctuary Beach now.
We
are happy to discuss our pool options, business plans and management
concepts.
