Surf Pool to Be Built in the East Cape
Artists Rendering
According to Wave Pool Magazine, the world’s largest Unit Surf Pool will be built near Vinorama, in the East Cape, where workers are cutting roads and putting up a lot of fences. The project, just a few minutes south of the VidaSoul hotel is named Damiana and is expected to open in about 15 months. The 16-acre man-made saltwater lake with a Unit Surf Pool pool will produce a 16 meter wide wave and it is only the first phase of the project, as a beach club will be built adjacent to the pool. Stay tuned.

This project was announced in October 2021. It looks like it may already have been delayed. https://surfparkcentral.com/unit-surf-pool-announces-their-largest-development/
This is a crazy idea. There is a natural surf break there. This could literally destroy the entire area. Lack of water, a rough dirt road & no electricity would not make this feasible. Why would anyone want to go there? We all need to file a complaint.
This is a horrendous idea. Environmental impact is tremendous… not in a place that needs a wavepool.
