The BSR wave pool has had its share of coverage, and not all of it good. First, the Texas wave blew up the scene when they created a wave that was perfect in its imperfections. Slater’s wave has been looked at with scorn due to the strange fact that it’s a little TOO perfect. NLand has been looked at with scorn because it wasn’t perfect enough. Somehow, BSR snuck right down the middle.
Then, of course, someone died after surfing there. Soon afterwards, the CDC came out with a report that it had found something called Naegleria fowleri at BSR Cable Park. The pool issued a statement that contradicted those findings. Now, all these months later, they’ve installed filtration systems that—one would hope, at least—work.
That strange blue murk has turned into water that looks like it came out of a tap—and not a Flint, Michigan tap, so Parker Coffin, Bethany Hamilton, Jett Schilling, and the inimitable Bobby Martinez rode into town and laid waste to the Lone Star State’s finest wave.
