Thank you Robert, Linda, Kerby, Tamera, Chris, Susana and Mary for your great comments. This is a flowrider, not a real wave. It is a 10 foot barrel located in Southern California. It looks real, I am actually standing in front of the stucture. Thanks again for the support, it is nice to hear all of your feedback #1870850Adilson F. Ferreira September 23, 2005
