Australia is a leader in wave pool and artificial surf reef development . With plenty of space, a giant (often overcrowded) surf community and access to solar power, Australia is prime for wave pool development. The ocean offers plenty of swell as well, so it's no surprise that they continue to innovate on the artificial reef front. We expect that to continue.
