Indoor Surf Pool

At the heart of our concept plan is the world’s first indoor circular wave pool, designed by the Kelly Slater Wave Company. This design utilizes a large circular pool that creates perpetual waves and is located below street level at the heart of the new Hotel. The wave pool is sunken approximately 40-feet below street level with a high atrium space overhead that will allow natural south-facing sunlight to wash over the space creating a stunning view from street level and from the reception and lobby areas of the hotel. A number of rooms and conference facilities could easily be located to overlook the wave pool from the cantilevered terraces above the space.

The pool itself would be a one-of-kind, world-class facility that would allow local citizens, guests, and club members to practice or compete in events year-round. The wave size and frequency can be controlled to allow for family float/tube time, to beginner size small waves, to world-class overhead barrels. This facility allows for an unprecedented wave riding opportunity with perfect waves that never end, challenging even the worlds fittest athletes. Flow can be reversed to allow waves that break left or right.

The Kelly Slater Wave Company has been working on the prototype wave pool designs for some time. He has been supportive of our concept and has agreed to start working with us as this concept further develops.
