Kelly Slater

So he's sort of ridden like nine waves.

yeah it's kind of funny that's so cool man i would have 17 months i would have no idea where to even start counting how many waves i've ridden in my lifetime yeah but he's on he's on seven right now that's it he's gonna outride you brother yeah he will but no hopefully how's the way pork doing it's going really good it is yeah it's super fun it's a it's a super fun experience is it you know it's like family oriented you have partners in that

I'm actually not an owner.

I sold my share of it.

My partner and I started it in 2014, finished in 2015.

2017, we sold it.

Oh, wow.

But we're founders of it, so we still get rights and access to use it a few days a year and get invited up there with other groups of friends that are going.

But it's become a real...

It's become a destination for surfers that have been there already that want to go back over and over and over again.

The thing with wave technology is they're not cheap, and ours is the most expensive.

I can't imagine it's cheap to actually make consistent waves anymore.

Yeah, it's getting more and more cheap, but the concrete costs a certain amount, energy costs a certain amount.

Energy is not even the high cost.

The concrete really is to make the pools and to build out with some of the hardware.

And you guys did that on your own in 2014?

Yeah.

Did you burn a lot of your fortune doing that?

I was worried that I was gonna end up burning all the money I ever made.

And I definitely would have had it not done well.
