Imagine having the best wave to yourself. Then imagine that you can ride that same wave again and again, because it forms perfectly every single time.  Sounding too good to be true?   It might have been a dream, but amazingly there are surf wave pools all around the world that provide consistently amazing waves for surfers… if they are willing to pay for the pleasure of the experience.  There are a lot of pools to choose from, however we have picked our top 5 for you to be inspired by. Check them out and possibly plan a surf trip with a difference:

In the heart of Malaysia lies one of the worlds biggest surf wave pools.  Sunway Lagoon in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpar is home to 13,000 squared metres of attractions, one of which is the amazing artificial beach and wave park. Take a look at the clip for a taste of the Malaysian style of park and just how creative you can get on the man-made waves.
 

For anyone living in Northern Europe, the hot surf and weather of Tenerife is always a draw.  For those who can't wait for the great surf found in the winter months is the Siam Park in Adeje in the south of the island.  The artificial wave is perfect for fast take offs and hacking rides.  For a bit of a different glimpse of the park take a look at Coolie kid and ASP world championship competitor Julian Wilson smack some airs at night.

  • 5- Wave Pool of the future- Surf City Hui, west coast, Oahu, Hawaii
 
 
We may have heard about the top 4 wave pools, but Oahu, Hawaii is the location for yet another wave pool.  Despite the North Shore of Hawaii being the epi centre for the best waves in the world, boasting the 7 mile miracle of wave upon wave, developers feel there is a place for a wave pool on the western shore of the island.  The plan is for a pool that can create different types of waves, so you could even have your own custom wave. Keep a look out for more details as it develops as it is set to open in summer 2017.
