Never thought that I would be surfing a lake in Italy. Thank to a new-ish rapid wave technology called Unit Surf, there is now a wave in a lake just outside of Milan. Wakeparadise is the name of the surf and cable park located right by the Linate airport. What is pretty awesome about this technology is that it can be placed in any body of freshwater that is large enough. It also aerates the water in the lake and helps with water quality even though this lakes water is already really clean to begin with.
Below is a link to their website if you would like to check out their set up next time you are traveling to Milan.

I think you could implement that in a flowing river and use the natural river flow so you wouldn't need any energy..

Yeah, Blair, that is a nice wave. The wave dynamics are better than the river standing waves, the useable face is wider . Your surfing looks like you are on an ocean wave.

good pond aerator.. reminds me of a surf zone that was in Palm Beach Florida in the '80's that had pilings (50' apart) that you had to know about and it was only 150' wide anyway.. I was riding a boogie board..

@adamsfamilyinfrance 3 месяца назад

Not that new technology. They've had one at EXO38 in Tencin France near where we live for about 5 years. But this one in Italy seems to produce more of a lip, which I like. Interesting they let everybody do it without helmet and vest in Italy - required here in France. The helmet has saved me a couple of times already. Wish I had Blair's coordination!

@mrsmith234 3 месяца назад

Ever wondered how much infrastructure it takes just for you to be able to make a comment?

@d.Cog420 3 месяца назад

yes. And drive around, heat the house, get water by just turning a tap, same with electricity, roading, sewers (they are mind-boggling), what food to buy at the local market, what clothes to buy, who to support and what they stand for, our evolutionary trajectory and possible future, when to point out someone is destroying ecology for a fun time. Also why people put divergent comments up when faced with what appears to be something destructive. I have lots of surfy friends that are totally down with the environment so I find this video weird. What do you think?

@Jeeves69. 3 месяца назад

@d.Cog420 3 месяца назад

@@Jeeves69. Good point and appreciate the tutorship, genuinely. So what do you think of machines sucking the local ecosystem through turbines for surf fun? And this isn't a major, the little wave machine won't cause global environmental destruction, but the thought we can keep doing this to it might? Would genuinely appreciate your educated opinion. Everyone else in the comments is Yo dude, you raked it.

Undecided. What's it donto the ecosystem of the lake? Constant noise. Compared to real surf, it's pretty boring and underwhelming. 1 ft crumble wave 20 ft wide.

@Niex_Knox 2 месяца назад

The thing that made surfing cool was being one with nature, trying to catch the swell at the right time and spot. Now we have jet skis towing people into waves taking away the take off and need for judging where tge wave breaks, and now artificial waves which, let's be real; how many can enjoy this per day? It is cool I sure wish I had this in my yard but I remain an old fart who just sees that the essence of what made surfing such a great sport are gone. Never mind the arguments in the crowded line ups with folks dropping in every wave.

I would like to lower a non-motorized version of this structure into a swiftly moving River. Or power it with a turbine. If you parked it next to enough solar panels you can run it on sunlight. No night surfing -- too loud, the neighbors complained

@philemon337 3 месяца назад

By the flow of the river it seems... their might be a system to change the angle of the plateform in the river, modulating the présence of the wave. Very efficient system and extremly energy efficient. Might need very few energy.

@d.Cog420 3 месяца назад

@@philemon337 Could be. The operators would know and are probably reading this thread. Something is sucking the water up to make the wave and at the start you can see large circles on the grill which would suggest fans/turbines.
