...Searching and waiting for the perfect wave in the Cayman Islands is no longer a problem. Surfers yearning for waves in Grand Cayman can soon dust off their boards and take part in the breathtaking experience of riding under and over magical blue curls of water. Introducing the Waveloch Surf Machine, a self-contained standing wave generated by a continuous 16,000 gallon per minute (GPM) flow of water. Water flow varies from 10,000 gallons per minute to 150,000 gallons per minute. The machine uses fresh filtered water and measures 2,624 sq. ft. and 1,280 sq. ft. of riding surface area.
...Just where exactly can you find this monster of fun? Only at the Black Pearl Surf Park in Cayman Grand Harbour. This waveloch machine is the only one of its kind in the world with 11 foot waves and is one foot higher than Waveloch's machine in South Africa.
...For those who just can't fathom getting on a board and riding the wave, a viewing area is provided to watch the daring souls who will try repeatedly, and often in vain, to stay on the wave. It may sound dangerous, but it isn't. It's a thrilling experience that combines balance, strength, skill and poise to create an adrenaline-pumping experience the rider won't soon forget.
