Palm Springs Surf Club - always broken?

[casa_mugrienta]

Starting a separate thread for this.

I'm beginning to hear the machine breaks constantly, and paying customers are having to reschedule their sessions then finding the machine is broken again.

I don't know that there's any truth to these claims, but I'm sure folks in erBBland have connections that know what's going on. Any truth to these claims?

Got a buddy scheduled for a sesh today. I’ll report if I hear anything

My grown man turns are going to break the machine!

 

[singlepin]

have also heard reports of break downs.

And during the gromsearch this week it broke for an hour during the middle of a heat.
Chris Cote says "we are going to do a quick machine test tweak. this is the most cutting edge modern equipment... we are going to take a quick commercial break."
Then the same heat restarts 1 hour later.

I haven't really been following along on the tech of wavepools. If anyone is interested I think this is how the wave is produced at pssc.

Imagine walking up to the gate and they say "casa, how was your drive.....we'd like to have a word with you".

Never trust a grown man who wears a beanie inside.

that gromsearch vid makes it look alot softer than waco, like barely a lip to hit.

I posted the link while it was live. The best kids in the US and most lucky to get two solid turns in. Barely anyone could get the third turn in.

The right looked a bit better than the left if that’s possible.

The kid from my region who competed at Palm Springs can do mind blowing things at Waco. He did some nice turns but couldn't do much on the Palm Springs wave compared to what he does at home or at Waco. This kid can do airs on demand at home or Waco......even in weak surf. There were only a couple of airs done by anyone at Palm Springs in that event because the wave didn't have the juice. You also run a real risk of your board hitting the wall at the end of a ride.

That comp was custom made for Cruz. Lucas and a few others are better overall surfers, and much more seasoned competitors, but none have the pool exposure he does. 4th has to be a little disappointing.

Compare the things he can do at Waco (or in the ocean) with what the wave at Palm Springs let him do. There was no surfing like this at the Palm Springs event.

Not even tiny Zion Walla knew what to do on those little waves.

Eeli was the only kid there who was able to really surf it perfectly.

@StuAzole
By the way, here is a highlight reel from when the same event was held at Waco a couple of years ago. This really puts into perspective how much better Waco is.

@StuAzole the Palm Springs wave seems to have a weird wonky spot in it on that first bottom turn that really threw all of the surfers out of rhythm.
