Wave pools are often advertised with the most intense and challenging settings on display. The truth is that your average everyday price of admission to surf that wave pool probably isn’t going to buy you the same waves you see on the internet. It’s just the nature of the beast, where head-high tubes are promised and pros surfing them are the pitch men.
But if you can roll into the park with a crew of professional surfers and receive special access when the pool isn’t filled with Average Joes, you might be treated to a show. Guys like Clay Marzo and Blair Conklin who have a special talent for making anything they ride look like a circus act. And that duo recently rolled into the Palm Springs Surf Club and did just that with Kalani Robb, Tyler Stanaland, and a few others. The pool was churning out slabs and they had the time and freedom to toy with it…bottom’s dropping out and thick lips to boot.
