Inside Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch, where you can surf 100 miles inland -- for $10,000 | ESPN Photo
The Kelly Slater Wave Company Surf Ranch, also known as Slater’s wave, is a 20-acre surfing amusement park in Lemoore, California, amid the farmland of the state’s Central Valley. It’s not the first man-made wave park, but it’s the most powerful: The wave reaches speeds of 20 mph and heights of 8 feet, making it a capable host for competitions like the World Surf League Championship Tour. In time, controlled environments like Slater’s wave may become the norm for surfing competitions.
Customers pay $10,000 to surf for an hour, so it’s no surprise that the Surf Ranch boasts a celebrity clientele: Chris Hemsworth, Drew Brees, Tony Hawk, Shaun White, and Eddie Vedder have all caught waves there.
