Who Needs Hawaii...

... when you have great waves in Orlando.
The Versareef will generate four types of wave, named after the places in which they are typically found: Hawaii, Indonesia, California and Australia. The Hawaiian has a steep take-off leading straight into a wall of water, while the Californian is a slower, easier wave, which is better for beginners
I've been -- and I use the quotes on purpose -- "surfing" in Hawaii. I can say with confidence that the reason this invention will be successful will have nothing to do with the quality of the waves. It will have to do with the fact that you can walk around the pool to get beyond the surf line.
