It’s time to prepare for the Surfing Doctors URBNSURF WavePool conference in Sydney. This conference is exciting mainly because the Surfing Doctors has the whole wave pool booked exclusively for members attending the conference. So, there will be loads of waves to be had as the machine pumps out 1,000 waves an hour or something.
Small-wave shooters will be the equipment of choice for all attendees as there are no big waves in a pool just yet, but the wave settings for this conference will be on medium and advanced only.
