2009 American Dream - (Triple 5) > West Edmonton Mall See History
(Above)1986 'Blue Thunder Wave was too high'n'heavy & as all...geared down on opening.
WEM Wavepool is unusual as it takes on Oar craft / Board / Tube / Bodysurfer
(Portobello UK pioneered all craft Wave Pools & also geared down a heavier rip wave)
1986 Old School (Triple 5) Wave Pool can fire up heavier than 2020 (Triple 5) AMW wavepool!
tbb exclusive swellnet revelation...Don't judge a washed up wavepool by it's Insta Mall Selfie!
See: (Above Photo) The waves were so large they breached XXXL perimeter wall (That big!)
2018 (Triple 5) Select American Wave Machines to design Wave Pool
Unusually T5 knew what they wanted more so than any Wave Pool salesman!
Note: Triple 5 are no kooks! Long been managing a Mall Surfboard Riders Club.
