Mad Max's pool reached its maximum power
Owners say the biggest wave measures 2,4 metres across
5 Waves Surf Lake, also known as Mad Max Pool or Occy Pool, located in Yeppoon, Australia, reached capacity this week, they reported on their social media.
Three-time world bodyboarding champion Ben Player appears to have made the most of the wave, landing a couple of fairly sizeable right barrels.
Then, 1999 world champion Mark Occhilupo (who is one of the owners of the venture) and his son Jai took a couple of good tubes down another of the peaks (named after Occy) that break around the giant valve that powers the waves.

According to what the company's press director, Wayne Dart, told Stab, they are currently achieving series of four waves and the business model working well should reach six waves that would produce 2400 waves per hour in the five spots.
The first surf lake will reportedly be located on Australia’s Gold Coast, “with ambitions to open in the second half of 2020.”
In the pool's previous test, reports from the scene by Stab indicated that surfers tried to force the mechanism to generate more waves until it finally broke.
