In Hawaii, a project is making waves. A company wants to create an artificial surf spot. The idea is to allow surfers to practice their passion in all circumstances. But for the Kanaka Maoli, this project goes once morest the spirit of surfing. In addition, it is very greedy in drinking water.
It’s a surf spot but there’s no confrontation with the ocean here. The waves are artificial, so competitive surfers are guaranteed to find great waves in all circumstances. “We had one of the worst endings to the winter season in history, so it was hard to go surfing. And when you are a surfer and you want to surf and there are no waves, you are a bit stuck. The wave pool therefore gives us the opportunity to satisfy our desires and also to keep us in shape.“, estimated Light Power, surfer.
Located near the beach in Oahu, it is the second swimming pool of this type in the archipelago. It is equipped with the latest technologies to simulate the ideal conditions that high level surfers need to stay competitive. “People envy our surfing all over the world, they want us to teach them what we know. The pool is a great place to stay here in Hawaii and teach our own people what we know and not let that heritage be diluted in other parts of the world“, says Brian Keaulana, Hawaiian surfer.
