> The Surf Ranch is a high-end/test pool, and they've been pretty open about that
My point isnt that its not cool, its more that its the anti-thesis of surfing as a whole.

guaranteed if you go out to your local beach and poll the surfers, 50%+ are well-paid workers in corporate america, otherwise they wouldn't have the means and time to buy all the gear needed and live close enough to the beach to surf as a hobby
the wave machine is perfect for practicing, showing off, and competing for a televised audience, which will bring in more sponsors and of course put more money/attention into the sport. the surf you know is mostly dead [1], which isn't necessarily a bad thing, everything changes
It's extremely humid there most of the year. It doesn't get much rainfall but it's not a dry place by any means, and its definitely not a desert.
