New Palm Springs Wave Pool Coming - Will YOU Surf it?
- Thread starter Groundswell
- Start date
Yes. Mom's got a place in La Quinta. We never go but would now.
There was an article in the Desert Sun in 2018 about another potential wave pool/resort in the area.

My wife loves the stores, architecture and restaurants. I just liked the date shakes. Now I will go back.
1987,
The PSAA ran a contest out there at The Oasis Water Resort.
Kinda fun bein' there surfin' in a pool looong ago, so many waves,
very short period between 'em, every~one got plenty to practice on before it started.
From The Los Angeles Times: SUNDAY READING
The Ultimate Palm Springs Pool : Sun, Sand and Now a Surf Machine.

This pic shows what ya did:
Took off by the wall, went left for a short while, hit it, banked off it, got some speed as it turned into a faster right, much bigger swacks happenin' here, then it was on to that slower end section of the quickly fadin' left. You could some~times, if your board was fast+buoyant enough, get a half~turn in the middle of the pool too. Be really fun+interesting to see what the kids now~a~dayz could do on that chlorinated wave...
PS ~ The water slides were bitchin' fun also if you too had never been to a water park before!

The dudes who were real light on their feet did well, a young Chris Brown won it, IIRC.

The stab article indicated the park was closed. Wanting to "look over the fence," I googled it. First, I called the number, and the recording and phone info system indicates it is still open. Then I went to the website, and it says "closed 2019 for exciting renovations."
I cant imagine the maintenance and management of a joint like that. Hope they are not in over their heads.

I can hear Turtle now, “OK brah, the concrete starts just about here and stretches all the way down to there. So when the wave breaks here, don’t be there, or you gonna get drilled…” 
A big issue the parks face is boards colliding into people. And cement and fiberglass dont mix well either.
The foamie boards all fall apart in the chlorine because epp and eva dont like chlorine.
Park boards will likely be covered by a soft skin shell. Sort of like snowboards were eventually made specifically for parks— surfboards will be too.
