Surf Snowdonia - WORLD'S BIGGEST ARTIFICIAL WAVE POOL!!
Surf Snowdonia - WORLD'S BIGGEST ARTIFICIAL WAVE POOL!!
This video shows normal surfers tackling the worlds biggest Wavegarden designed wave pool, from many different angles. It's interesting to see how the normal surfers get on surfing the wave. Filmed on 18th August 2015, before the drain and repair works.
There was a strong wind blowing this day also, and the 90 second waiting time between waves didn't really give the water enough time to settle between some of the waves. Speaking to some of the staff, to get the perfect glassy conditions that surfers crave there needs to be at least 3 minutes waiting time between waves. Still looked fun though and it was better than being flat!!!

    I can see why people are comparing it to Kelly slaters surf ranch and dose look amazing but just looked at prices for a go at Kelly slaters its $10,000 and here its £50 to £70 its is quite a big difference kelly slaters is better but had more money to spend on it too.

    Lots comparing it to Kelly Slaters pool which looks awesome. To be fair most clips of Kellys wave pool are of top pros and this is of mostly learners making the wave look bad lol.

      It's not just that, it's just a really poor dribble of an excuse of a wave, not that dissimilar to the Severn bore, a larger dribble. The Wave Garden in Bristol is so much better, loads of settings and the levels are surprisingly good, i mean, I've surfed since i was 11 years old, I'm 49 and yes, it really doesn't compare to what you would have to do in the sea, as in hunting down peaks, you jumping on the rhythm of the wave rather than the pool where it sucks up and forms, but at least it forms properly and it's consistent, that's just pure dribble that you have to catch up to practically the barriers to get anything like a face 😕 and how much for the privilege? The Wave is £55 an hour for advanced, that includes a board, basically a hard bottomed sponge of various lengths and wettie, in the winter, boots, hood and gloves... Its advisable to take your own board but there are also pretty decent ones for hire for up to £20... So what do Snowdonia Wave ask for it? And no, I don't work for them 😆

    great that they have it, but not the best design. There only seems to be the smallest section of wave very close to the metal framing that you can actually ride. This is a wave Pool ruclips.net/video/Ggq0ZTuPB3c/видео.html

    Great idea, like not being stalked by a white or bully daily. Good controlled environment to learn surfing skills before hitting the ocean. Needs a few tweaks on the bank shape but it creates waves, AWM is another fun peaky wave to check out.

    Not anymore, Kelly's wave pool smokes this one. They need to contour the ground underneath the wave batter at this place, it's rather confusing where the waves sweet spot is, the tube, the curl, the rebound??? Make a pronounced shallow area like with Kelly's pool. If you look at Kelly's I bet it goes from 15-20' deep then at a pretty steep angle goes up to about 3 feet deep that's basically a straight ledge from one end of the pool to the other. With Kelly's they should put a little variation instead of a near perfect ledge. Every so often they should make a deeper part so the wave backs off just a bit so that you can make some old school round house cutback then as soon as you would rebound off the white water have it go shallower so right off the white water right into the tube!

    • @DrainPipeJoe

      Kelly's pool as of right now is still just one long barrel, there are no flat spots for cut backs. I live about 60 miles from the wave pool
