Let me also share with you you a highlights video from the Rip Curl Pro Peniche:
Peniche is also going to build the first artificial wave pool of Portugal. This decision was announced recently as a way to help reducing the seasonality of tourism in Peniche.
This theme park will be constructed within city limits, very near to Baleal Surf Breaks. It will also have other sporting activities besides surf.
There has been some talking about the technology that will be used in this wave pool and a very probable candidate is the WaveGarden Tecnhology.
This awesome technology creates a wave that enables an amazing surfing experience for both beginners and professional surfers.
Without going into details about the technology, let me show you this awesome wave, surfed by well-known professional surfers like Dane Reynolds, Taj Burrow and Gabriel Medina:
