I got into the first version. I guess that's what the WaveSport one was....
It doesn't really work. I hope they keep working on it, because the idea is a good one, but the design is not really there yet. It just created some aerated water to flatwheel in, or you could kind of double-ender with the falling miniwaterfall.

Unfortunately the answer to the problems that this thing has is a specialized pool with a specifically shaped bottom to it, which wouldn't make it condusive to being installed in just any old pool.

Also, the pool needs to be bigger, so that the displaced water can be pushed further away from the intended hole feature without creating a reactionary wave that would mess things up.

Again. I hope they keep working on it because it would be totally awesome to have something like [color=red:0b8a9425ea]this[/color:0b8a9425ea] that could be used for winter pool sessions by a club.
