Maybe I am dense, but the first paragraph says “total average maximum surfers at Coral Mountain in Wave Basin per day is 130, 18 surfers throughout the day on the
main wave, 56 on each end bay. Indeed that totals 130. But actually, now that I look at the chart again, if I count the in-water numbers, in the boxes for each hour,
and if we are assuming that the six, 12 and 12 change every hour, then I come to a total of 396 max per day.
That is if they change every hour of course, but isn’t that feasible? Or some number larger than 130 maximum per day?

Ms. Callimanis,
That is not what you asked. As stated in the memo, "the maximum capacity in the Wave Basin at any given ;me is 6 surfers on the Main Wave and 12 surfers in each of the
End Bay waves." Please see the last column on the right, if what you are looking for is the maximum surfers per day.

The point on the chart was that it said it says there will be a maximum of 18 surfers on the main wave on a non-event day. In fact, it could be higher than that. Even if 6 per hour, it could be 84 on the main wave
over the course of the day. So that chart is in error. Thanks for the clarification.

Ms. Callimanis,
The table in Appendix L.4 shows that there would be 6 surfers on the main wave and 12 in each end bay at any given ;me, at full opera;on. There is no assump;on made
regarding how long any surfer will be in the water -- it could be an hour, in could be several.
As regards the jet skis, it is our understanding that there is one jet ski in the basin at any given ;me.

Good day. I need your help to clarify the attached schedule of surfers. It says there will be a maximum of 18 surfers on the main wave on a non-event day. But you are saying 6 surfers on the main wave at a
time. Are you saying surfers on the main wave will surf a average of 3 to 4 hours per day a piece? Also, is one jet ski required for the six surfers on the Main Wave? How many jet skis are required for the
surfers on the end caps? This is found in
Average Surfer Population
Kelly Slater Wave Company
Appendix L.4
Thanks for your clarification.
