Since the early 70's surfers, inventors and engineers have dreamed of making beautiful rideable waves in the man made environment. Many concepts have been patented and scores have been built, but none to date make waves of significant height with a decent ride length.

The liquid time wave pool is completely different in its method of wave generation and pool shape. Ten two meter waves break constantly around a circular island within a doughnut shaped pool. The result is a dwarfing of the other pool types in terms of cost, ride length and wave quality. If the true measure for a wave pool is how much actual surfing can be done each minute then a ride-second per minute would be a useful currency to use in comparison between pools. In a standard rectangular pool making two, 10 second rides per minute, the currency rating for that pool would be 20 ride-seconds per minute. The liquid time pool makes ten waves that break all the time, not one at a time with breaks in between them. With each of the ten waves breaking all the time, the ride potential per wave per minute is 60 seconds per minute, because each wave is constantly breaking. So if you have ten waves doing their thing, all the time, then you have a total of 600 ride seconds per minute! That is thirty times greater than the traditional system. And not even nature can match that! In an LT pool there is no three to five minute lull between sets, every 15 seconds two perfect 2 meter waves come peeling around the corner. In terms of how many surfers can be having the time of their lives in one day, imagine owning a pool that has given 2000 surfers 12 perfect, two meter, thirty second rides each.
