European pro surfers Reubyn Ash, Jayce Robinson, Gearoid McDaid, Vincent Duvignac, Ben and Lucas Skinner, and Kai and Hans Odriozola were amongst the lucky few invited to test out the wide variety of Reef waves in the world’s first Wavegarden Cove at The Wave in Bristol, England.
Designed specifically for experienced surfers, The Reef areas offer many different types of right and left hand waves on opposing sides of the central pier. Wavegarden’s machine operator dished up approximately 15-20 different wave types for the pros to ride and enjoy; a menu that includes waves with open-face shoulders ideal for down the line top turns and carves through to heaving barrels.
When asked how the session went, Reubyn Ash was quick to respond. “Put it this way, if lived next door to this place, I would surf here everyday and maybe I would never go back in the ocean. The waves are that good.”
Although this session was specifically designed for expert surfers, the Wavegarden Cove has other areas in the lagoon with smaller, softer waves ideal for beginner and intermediate surfers.
