Kelly Slater Received Additional $2.2 Million Permit for Lemoore Surf Ranch | Going public?

 

Kelly Slater’s Wave Company aka the Lemoore Surf Ranch made the world surf mad once again. With a recent additional $2.2 million permit approved does this mean it’s going to open to the public? Perhaps a left?

We’re going to know soon enough.

 

“According to The Hanford Sentinel, a new $2.2 million building permit was issued March 14 by Kings County supervisors for installation of more wave technology at what is known as Surf Ranch.

Slater has owned the 20-acre property near Phoenix Sunrise Golf Course since 2014. The property includes a man-made lake that’s 700 yards long by 70 yards wide with a machine that creates a wave that’s about 7 feet tall with a perfect barrel.”

This brings the total investment to $6.5 million (not including the property).

Checkout my tractor at the #SurfRanch. It came with the property and actually drives pretty well. I've been reminiscing about everything happening at @KSWaveCo and Surf Ranch over the last year and a half. 110 miles from the coast, who would have thought we'd have the wave we have? It’s been such a humbling and exciting experience bringing this wave to life with my team and receiving the overwhelming support from the surf community all over the world. The sheer number of people I talk to about it on a daily basis is unbelievable. I know everyone is wondering what’s next for the Surf Ranch, and there’s been a few rumors floating around, so I thought I would send out an update. This prototype system in Lemoore was created to prove out the fundamental concept of the design and technology, our version 1.0. That wave blew my mind, but I also immediately saw ways we could improve it. We got right to work in the lab. The feedback we received from dozens of surfers (not only CT level) was incredibly helpful. And a few months ago we did what obsessive people do: we took something great and took it apart to create something even better. This will mean more waves, more sections and the goofy footers might be pretty excited too. Also, I can’t say officially, but there’s some exciting projects on the horizon and I look forward to sharing more with you as the year unfolds.
