Dear Jon McMillen and the City Planning Office,
I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts with you and I thank you in advance for taking the
;me to view this. I wanted to write a quick note to let you know that my family, friends and I are all
very excited about the proposed Coral Mountain development and Kelly Slater Wave Pool. My
family lives in Redondo Beach, CA and we visit Palm Desert and La Quinta a couple ;mes a year on
vaca;on, but we will be coming much more if this resort is built. From my experience visi;ng the
Kelly Slater Wave Pool in Lemoore, Ca, there will be people all over the world wan;ng to come visit
and spend ;me in La Quinta. I can tell you that the hundreds of people I have spoken with that have
been to the KS Wave Pool in Lemoore say that it was one of the best days of their lives. There is no
doubt that the experience is special. Special in a way that people from all around the world come to
visit, it is sold out every day, and young talented people from all around California want to work
there!! And it is in Lemoore! It’s hard to imagine what people would think in an amazing place like
La Quinta. There is really some magic behind the wave and experience. People all around the world
now know about Lemoore because of this wave pool and it sells out at $70k a day with more
demand than they can keep up with. This wave is now a famous experience in the surf world akin to
traveling to the North Shore, Indonesia or Fiji – and the La Quinta area could become a part of that
worldwide renown, magic and a=rac;on with this wave pool, beau;ful loca;on and design of the
property. These are people and families coming for an amazing experience, not a big party like
Coachella (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but they are paying big bucks for the athle;c
endeavor, beauty of the area and an athle;c outdoor experience. It sounds like this is a great,
experienced group leading the development and I really hope this comes to frui;on. If so, all my
families future trips will be to La Quinta and this spot!
Thanks so much for listening and I am happy to share my thoughts with anyone concerned about
this development, the wave pool and the benefits this will bring to the area.
All the best!
Regards,
Adam Buckley
