Kerry Black is bringing world-class waves to the malls of America. Grab your board – surf’s up 6 a.m. to midnight, 365 days a year. Awwwww sick mate!
“A good pool would open up a whole new door to the sport,” says 2001 professional world champion surfer C. J. Hobgood. There will always be the Tahitis and Fijis, he says, “but if you could surf in Middle America, it would introduce the sport to people who’ve never had that opportunity. It would be so rad!” And even in a place like Fiji, Mother Nature can ruin your plans. “I was in Tahiti last week,” Hobgood says, “and the waves weren’t even a foot high.”
