Big Surf, the first wave pool
1969
Tempe, Arizona
The first artificial wave pool in the country, built in the desert 300 miles from an ocean by an engineer who had worked on Apollo. Every water park wave machine since works on the principle he patented here.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
Location: documented spot
