But people loved it and it turned into something and it's become a good business for the guys who own it.
But yeah, I don't own it, but I'm super proud of it.
And I still feel like it's mine, like it's ours.
Well, I'm building a wave pool in Austin.
Everybody's moving to Austin.
I know.
Well, I got into golf in the mid-90s, and about five, six, seven years into playing golf, I met a guy named Mike Meldman, and Mike owned this golf course that I love to go to on the Big Island, and built a community around it.
A few years later, I got into the idea of making wave pool technology, wave technology.
And then I started imagining I could build, you know, in surfing what Mike's done in golf, we could build these communities around a wave pool and people would want to live there.
And so we worked on it for years.
That was the ultimate goal for me with this wave pool technology.
And so long story short, Mike's group and my group are partners to build this wave in Austin.
And it's going to be a community?
Yeah.
It's a private community, private wave.
And it's about like seven minutes from the airport.
The good thing about it- It's underway now?
Yeah.
We broke ground January this year.
Yeah.
