Surfing's Olympic Debut Should Be Held at Wave Pool in Japan

The Issue

With surfing's Olympic debut rapidly approaching, the entire surf world is both excited and nervous about this historic opportunity. On one hand, surfers are stoked that our beloved sport has been recognized in the Olympics and will be showcased on the world's largest stage for the very first time. On the other hand, we realize the chance that surfing will be portrayed in the way that we hope to see it showcased is very slim given the likely surf conditions that will be present at Tsurigasaki Beach the day of scheudled competition. The surf world only gets one chance to make a first impression at the Olympics and watching the world's best surfers riding 1-2 foot wind swell might not make the impact we know the sport of surfing is capable of producing. All credit is due to everyone involved that made the dream of surfing in the Olympics a reality. It was no easy task and we realize there was a lot of blood sweat and tears to accomplish this goal. Let's ensure all that hard work is properly displayed by utilizing the new wave pool to guarantee an exciting and high performance surfing Olympic Debut.

The new PerfectSwell surf pool in Japan is capable of producing consistent world class waves and can facilitate the schedule and format that the Olympic committee has already released. In addition to helping showcase the sport of surfing in the best possible way, there are endless ways the wave pool can be used as a more covid safe venue. Now that the concept of a high performance wave pool in Japan has become a reality, it all comes down to the right people organizing the Olympic games to be made aware of this opportunity to utilize the PerfectSwell wave pool to elevate their broadcast and overall product. We are hoping if this story can somehow be told, it would be a monumental win for the sport of surfing.
