Like I said prob a good chance Bend will get one. They make shitt happen over there. In the last few years they've added a new lift to Bachelor, the only new ski lift in OR I have heard about in at least a decade and created a man made wave in the Deschutes.

I would drive to Bend to ride that thing. I just read the Jerry Lopez interview after he got done at the Kelly Wave Park. Surfline has it up now. He seemed genuinely stoked on the whole thing. That wave is on my bucket list.

I just read that KS and a co-owner of the WSL just got approval by city council of Jupiter Farms, FL. Oregon next KS!

A good friend of mine just went to the WaveGarden in Austin Tx. Needless to say, we are no longer friends.

I know your "good friend" has pics of him surfing at that park. He continues to deny it...

Curious how the "friend" liked surfing that park down there in TX. Any report beyond the pics?

For such a hyperactive loud mouth all I've got out of him was "It was harder than I thought..."

It was really kewl to see Shane D's kid getting some time in at the KSWPark. Super stoked and super jealous, I would love to be able to watch my kids shred that thing.

Most likely because he had to take turns with others as opposed to droppin' in whenever he felt it.

Breaking news....WSL is taking lowers and cloudbreak off the tour next year and replacing them with a context at Kellys Wave Park.

Weird...not sure why you would drop those two locations??
