When Kelly Slater released footage of his wave pool, it was a serious call to other wave makers to step their game up.

It looks especially good when the national Spanish surf team surfs it. And while you might be one of the wave pool haters–there are many of them–it’s hard to deny that if this wave was at your local spot, you’d be frothing over it.
