Surf Center is designed as a Surf Training Centre (HPSC)
https://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/the-worlds-first-heated-indoor-wave-...

Brasil Surf Teaching Methodology of 20 years / 4,500 Students
International certified Coaches
Gyms / Yoga / Skateboard Centre / Surf Shop / Restaurants

Foundation Memberships (50% discount price) : Sold 326/600 max @ AUD $15,050 (One off Cost)
Foundation Membership Cost = 4 years Monthly payments
Monthly Memberships : AUD $300 allows one of 4 mates / Family weekly access

(Important) All Members are restricted to 1 session for 1 person / week

Encourages Surf buddies to sign own membership but can invite blowins as new mates of mates.
Club's solo session pass restriction seems to expand surf buddy membership base
eg: A Couple / Family needs separate (extra) memberships to surf the same weekly session together...
Resulting in 4x membership base expanding 4 fold again & so forth to promote membership.
tbb is unsure if Gyms work similar deals...only that it's a new format for Wave Pools.

Operating Hours 6:00am > 10:00pm
10 Surfers / session = (Note) This could equate to 2 coaches / Class of 8 students
Each Surfer would get 24 waves / session (Being only a small pool cuts return paddle time!)
Still reckon you'd wanna be fit...hence the Gym.
Leg Ropes are in use...(Small pool but 15 sec Wave delay should allow enough remount time)
Pause! About this 15 second Wave Train...tbb is not convinced, as small pools run faster trains!
Please hold on as we check this Surf Center Wave Period...

re: 15 second Wave Train > 4 waves / min + 1 min lulls = 120 waves/hr not 240 waves/hr?
This quite clearly doesn't add up?

eg: Urbnsurf / WACO run 6 sec wave trains (Smaller Pools Darwin run 3 sec trains)

Why would an even smaller Wave Pool run 15 sec Wave Trains...(Needs checking!)

If we lock in 240 waves/hr then knock off 1/1 min operating lulls we get this Wave Train...
7.5 second Wave Train > 8 waves / min + 1 min lulls = 240 waves/hr (Correct!)
Pretty sure Wave Pool Mag just gave a straight Waves / Hour rip...
Wave Pool Mag stats never accounted for the 30 x 1 minute on / off Wave Lulls

tbb should of checked that before Stats intro page...pays to work thru all these parameters...
Think the crew should re-evaluate to draw own conclusion...(Note it's only a 1/10 scale model)

Long Board Chick promo is standard & may be just that...A promo! ... perhaps Long softies?
No mention of Body Surfing access...
Pool Base Air Chambers will likely ban any touchy feely waves of emotion.
