    World-Class Waves Anywhere in the World

    Most of us don't live on the coast and don't have access to the ocean and waves, but considering how many people wear surf apparel in land locked towns from companies like Quicksilver and Billabong, it's clear there's a lot of interest away from the coast.

    With the Wavegarden, you can create a surf spot anywhere in the world, turning lakes, reservoirs and large ponds into surf spots that never goes flat.

    The patented Wavegarden technology uses much less energy than other man made waves and can generate surf for anyone from children and novices to pros like Jordy Smith and Roy Powers.

    Wavegarden comes from a group of Spanish skate park designers who decided to combine their love for surfing with their ability to design skate parks, to create a man made waves for people who don't live near the ocean or live near really crowded breaks.

    If you've got a space you'd like to turn into a surf break you can contact Wavegarden and they will work with you to design and build your own surf spot which requires relatively little maintenance compared to other man made wave parks.

    • Rick Perry Goes to War Against Connecticut

      Rick Perry, the Texas governor and 2012 "oops" presidential candidate, is spending the beginning of this week in Connecticut. Perry, as the governor of Texas, has little on-its-face reason to be in Connecticut. Except, of course, for one: Texas's unemployment rate, which at 6.4 percent in April is significantly lower than the national average, is still not quite ideal. Perry wants to bring jobs to his state. And, as he sees it, some of those jobs could come from Connecticut.
