Kelly Slater's groundbreaking wave pool location revealed

The location of surf champion Kelly Slater's artificial wave pool was revealed to be in ... California's Central Valley.

Slater debuted a video last week of what he and the Kelly Slater Wave Company touted as "the longest, open-barrel man made wave in the world" to ever be developed.

Now that the world title has been decided and events for the year have finished, I’m excited to show you what I’ve been... Posted by Kelly Slater on Friday, December 18, 2015

The video began racking up views and surf enthusiasts were left wondering about the location of the wave pool, as Slater's company remained quiet about the whereabouts of the facility.

Australian surf writer Craig Brokensha broke the news on Saturday that Lemoore, Calif. is the location of the wave pool. Brokensha determined where the property was through Internet sleuthing that led him to a facility located 110 miles from the California coastline.

KSEE-TV in Fresno confirmed the location in a Monday broadcast and spoke with a local government official on the wave pool.

Slater and his team worked on perfecting the man-made wave pool for close to 10 years and took over a former water ski lake property in Lemoore. The wave pool is built on 20 acres and is meant for research and development purposes, according to KSEE.

"We could've put out an inferior wave years ago," Slater said in the released video. "I'm glad we waited all that time to do the right thing because this is the best man-made wave ever made, for sure. No doubt about it."
