Travelin for work...Mission Beach Wave House

Was in San Diego last week for our channel partner conference and as with all corporate conferences, there is a "party"...something that would be really really fun if you weren't there with a bunch of people from work. Mind you, I do like my co-workers but you'all got to be careful to avoid any CLMs (career limiting maneuvers) like getting too wasted, shouting obscenities or coming on too a senior manager etc etc. I've seen most of these things in play, they are particularly exciting to watch during a sales conference. Sales people are crazy!


Not only did we get to watch the barely legal high school / college students professionally surf the fake waves, our own colleagues suited up, surfed and boogie boarded. I did not get up there..ha.
It is pretty ingenious really.... It's a curved plastic pool onto which they shoot out water and if forms a wave that the people were riding with snowboard sized boards. They had two outdoor wave pools and one massive indoor pool - which was hosting a kid's swimming lesson or something during our company party...strange.
And now for the cuisine - tell me how appetizing does that look? It looks like furry shit on a stick! Now frozen chocolate covered bananas sound like a great idea, just not all sitting on a plate together like that. It took every last bit of self control that I had to not point and laugh the entire evening....
