I just saw some video of a newly opened wave pool in Snowdonia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj_Ul6lr9PQ. Red Bull just hosted a pro surf competition there, the first ever on man made waves. I'm no expert, but this is best artificial wave I've seen. Something like this could be huge in places like Rocky Mountain states that are full of high-action sport people but lack ocean waves.
Related to an earlier thread about learning to surf in the ocean, I would guess that you could learn to surf there without having to paddle! Then you could learn to paddle as a separate lesson.
For those not familiar with Snowdonia, it is a bit of a hidden gem. It is located in Wales in a really beautiful and mountainous area. The mountains aren't huge but they provide lots of good hiking, mountain biking and such that can't be found in many places in the UK.
