The Surf Blog Spot

This will be the freshest update until this weekend.  I will be out of town until Friday and will not have consistent Internet access.  This post should keep you entertained for at least 3 days.  I could watch this clip all day since each wave is like a little playground.  You will love watching this video.  I would definitely get a season pass to ride this wave (if they had one)! 

Seagia Ocean Dome

The Japan Ocean Dome is actually the Seagia Ocean Dome located in Miyazaki, southern Japan and was once the world’s largest indoor water park.  The word, Seagia, is a combination of the Greek words “sea” and “gia,” which means earth.  That is exactly where this “ocean” is located.  The Ocean Dome is located within the picturesque Phoenix Seagia Resort.  Take a look and drop in!  Get barreled or launch an air during the day or at night.  This wave pool is not the mushy, lazy wave that you might be used to in other man-made water parks.  The Ocean Dome is complete with a white sand beach, the world’s largest retractable roof, and can hold 10,000 people.  Inside the dome, the climate is kept at a warm 85 degrees F and the water temperature is at a comfortable 82 degrees F.  The actual dome measures 300 meters (984 feet) in length, 100 meters (328 feet) in width, and 38 meters (125 feet) high.  Even on gloomy days, closing the retractable roof provides endless sunny blue skies.

Inside Seagia Ocean Dome

Too bad the world’s largest waterpark officially closed in October 2007, with no plans of re-opening.  Reports on the Internet indicate that the indoor beach and wavepool are closed.  If anybody knows differently, then please email me.
