Riding man-made surf typically means catching choppy, underwhelming swells in short f ive-to-10-second spurts. A project known as the Kelly Slater Surf Park, designed in partnership with its 10-time world-champion namesake, generates currents that provide surfers with rides of a full minute or longer. Waves form at the outer edge of the five-million-gallon circular tank and break as they run up the pool floor, which mimics the seabed as it approaches shore.
