New CA Wave Pool Opens & Lifeguards Warn of Hazardous Surf
First up, Wavegarden just flipped the switch on its second U.S. wave pool out in the Coachella Valley at DSRT Surf. The facility can spit out a thousand waves an hour and even has a dedicated "Twister" setting for those barrel-hunting sessions. If you've ever dreamed of testing aerial maneuvers in the middle of the desert, this is your chance—check out the full breakdown over at The Inertia.
Meanwhile, lifeguards up and down the California coast are sounding the alarm about sneaker waves and strong rip currents. They've rolled out free life-jacket stations at popular beaches and urge everyone to respect the ocean's power. For the details on where to grab a jacket and what conditions to watch for, have a look here.
Whether you're chasing perfect pool barrels or heading out for a real-world session, stay informed, stay safe, and keep that stoke alive.
