Television: Tour every surf-able wave pool on planet earth

What do the world’s wave pools look like from space? Take a tour of every surf-able pool in the world. With help of Google Earth and terabytes of stock footage, we circumnavigated a virtual globe and looped each shreddy wave tub together in this special edit.

While this clip allows you a peek at the world’s surf-able machines with soliton waves, you’ll see that not all are on par with Kelly’s. Some are neo-creations made specifically for shred fests while others are first-generation tourist undulators cranked up to 11 for some special occasion.
