Sitting in the middle of this manmade lake in Queensland Australia, sits a giant machine that creates waves designed for surfing.
Using compressed air, itโs pushed upwards, when dropped, itโs shape displaces a perfect ring of water that travels outwards, until hitting several manmade reefs, creating different height surfing waves.
Visitors can choose between 5 different areas and wave types, such as a gentle rolling waves for beginner surfers, all the way up to fast and demanding waves for expert and pro surfers, they even have waves specifically design for bodyborders.
According to Surf lakes, the system allows for up to 200 surfers and learners each hour. It’s the largest surf lagoon on the planet with its 80 megaliters of water volume.
โบ 5 Waves World Firsts
โฆ Simultaneous wave types: 5 types of waves, each of which vary in difficulty, size, length and shape, at the same time
โฆ Most breaks in a wavepool: 10 separate waves (4 left and 4 right reef breaks) plus 2 beginner waves
โฆ Largest surfing lagoon in the world: Water volume 80 megalitres
โฆ Largest wave face height: Up to 2.4m face height. 2.2m achieved at mid-level prototype testing
โฆ Highest wave productivity: At full commercial capacity, 5 Waves will be able to produce over 2,400 waves per hour, allowing up to 240 surfers in the lake at the same time, all catching 10 waves per hour
Thanks for watching

How ironic that this was made 5 years ago
This is so stupid. Australia deserves global warming.
$30 min for $100 don't think so
Lame
This one to me feels the most like a replication of the ocean . The other wave pools are sick but this one you can paddle into the lineup , sit , wait till the plunger makes a swell and boom paddle , stand up , and ride ๐โโ๏ธ ๐ค

That machine is TERRIFYING ๐ฎ
Scary machine ๐
Makes much more sense than Kelly Slaterโs, where itโs $7,000 a wave.
i dont get how they arent scared
Itโs in Yeppoon and I worked near if u can see it a K away
That's not a waiiive, this is a waiiive!
When are coming to Vegas?
paint the damn thing!
At least they aren't afraid to show us how its done. Unlike Kelly Slaters TOP SECRET wave pool….LOL
Dubai: โ Iโll take 100โ
Vancouver islands east coast needs this or Vancouver or Whistler
mesmerising
You can also do it with nuclear bombs and as a plus you get even more environmental damage!
this thing is honestly scary
Man-made? That's really not interesting.
Definitely not the first man made wave pool. This was invented in the late 60s by a guy in Arizona. Definitely cool tho looks like it would be fun
Surly get this going it's been long enough
Where is this I would love to go
This would be so amazing to see !
I have a question. Is it possibile to do that in a part of the sea in a Beach ?
Bludger plunger
Wonder how this played out throughout covid? Still around? Still a small fortune to ride?
I'll buy it!!!
This is too safe for Australians somebody needs to put some sharks in there
At least this is more affordable than Kelly Slate Wave Pool
Next to me, in middle Germany the biggest wave mashine Lake in the world will be build from 2023 on.
A win for the environment
The waves seem rather small.
A human potato smasher lol
the waves are too small and the water is not clean ( the same water in the pool)
Can we make this in Arizona?
2 years later I live near it still no paying public
They a added 4 meter Great White to make it more realistic.
Such a cool idea.
Crazy……..What could be next?
No sharks aswell!
2 year on seeing first on news. Canโt wait shark free ๐๐ถ
I would rather go to the real thing plus it's free.
Something about big powerful machines scares me and amazes me at the same time
The forbidden pneumatic doughnut.
Not big enough I want a mini tsunami
Place hills on the floor of that thing to make larger waves.
Great idea making the waves as a ring. More economical. They just need to put it where thereโs no Crocs.
only 17 million $$$ and it's yours
