Tim Baker, a writer for The Coastline Magazine, recently spent a weekend at The Surf Lakes futuristic surf pool in Yeppoon, Australia. His full feature, "The Ripple Effect," details the origins of Surf Lakes, starting with founder Aaron Trevis's inspiration from ripples in a pond. Baker's exposé delves into the impressive scale of the Surf Lakes facility, including its 80 million-liter lake and a 1400-tonne plunger capable of producing 2000 waves per hour. He highlights the company's significant investment and commercial agreements, while also addressing the numerous technical and mechanical challenges they've faced in creating such a powerful and authentic man-made surfing experience.
