Waves Winds and Tides

Waves Winds and Tides

From time to time we here at Surf-Shop get asked “what’s the tide doing?”
Well, all that ask are obviously some sort of watermen or another. Whatever rocks your boat to do with the Waves, Winds, or Tides, we all know we can’t get enough of it.
This Surf-Shop Peregian Beach blog hasn’t dealt with the complete Waves Winds and Tides picture in the past, as there are a number of great sites that do, and I wont list them all here, but, we’ll make an exception with just this one. It has been worthy of our notice over the last year that we have been following it. Seabreeze has been very accurate, in real time, on a daily basis.

WAVE POOL - Ipswich

WAVE POOL - Ipswich

WAVE POOL – Ipswich
WAVE POOL’s are becoming more popular through out the world as major tourist attractions. They also attract serious surfers for a bit of R&R away from the surfing madding crowds.
WAVE POOL’s are these days big business. Not suprising then that one Company has the name of KELLY SLATER involved, and is sure to draw world wide attention, and deservedly so.
The City of Ipswich is locked in a race to get the first WAVE POOL for Surfing with of all places, the GOLD COAST.
The Dubai of Ipswich?

Ipswich is 100km west of Brisbane and about that far from any Surfing beach you could name, but that’s the reason for it, to be first with a purpose built WAVE POOL for Surfing.
The project would be privately funded with backers already lining up to go, and that includes KELLY SLATER’s own company, the KS WAVE COMPANY.
“This could be reality within a couple of years as the technology and backing is there, but it is just about getting the details right” a spokes person for KS said.
World Patents
WAVE POOL’s already exist in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia all generating set after set of seriously good waves for experienced Surfers chasing that ultimate wave these pools provide.
Councillor Pisasale Mayor of Ipswich Shire said “Ipswich had a compelling case for wave pool attraction. Ipshwich would be perfect as we have the climate, we’re close to the State Capital and a fantastic tourist attraction for Ipswich”.
IPSWICH the new DUBAI of the west!
