Wired :: Endless Summer (on Demand)
Article
People like Black come from all over the world to play on Raglan's storied waves, made famous in the classic surfing film The Endless Summer. A perfect, fast-moving, steeply breaking wave 8 feet high is that most evanescent of things - coveted, sought after, dreamed about, a serendipitous state of grace pursued to the ends of the earth because it's so rare. The seabed shapes that produce these special waves are known as breaks in surfing lingo and are legends all: Places like Oahu's Pipeline. Bali's Bingin. New Zealand's Raglan. And in early 2005, thanks to Black, these waves will be in steady supply at the Ron Jon surf park at the Festival Bay Mall in Orlando, Florida, open 6 am to midnight, 365 days a year, Visa and MasterCard accepted.
Just in time for the irreparable degradation of coastlines and surfing breaks around the world.
