In addition to the Bar and Grill, adjacent Wave House elements include: the Wave House Athletic Club with its state-of-the-art equipment, the historic Plunge swimming pool and advanced mind/body classes such as Yoga and Bosu training; a historic amusement park with seven attractions including the Giant Dipper Roller Coaster. Wave House and Wave Loch are owned by inventor and entrepreneur Tom Lochtefeld, a native of La Jolla. Co-founder of Raging Waters theme parks, Lochtefeld invented 30 global patents for water rides and attractions, and built rides and theme parks across the world. In 2002, Lochtefeld acquired the lease for Belmont Park, a failed beachfront retail specialty center, and proceeded to revitalize the seven-acre facility by blending the original historic family-oriented amusement center with state-of-the-art boardsport entertainment and beach recreational amenities.

This hydrodynamic phenomenon features 100,000 gallons per minute of water flowing at a maximum speed of 30 miles per hour over a carefully engineered soft-foam covered surface to create a stationary tube and an endless ramp for performing aerial maneuvers.

It is an outdoor restaurant with surfboard tables and plenty of bars, one of which was built from plans of the original Windansea Shack. It has live music and a members only beach volleyball court, and of course, `the Wave' a.k.a. Bruticus Maximus. Q. Where is Wave House? A. Wave House is located on the boardwalk in the heart of Mission Beach, San Diego. From Interstate 5 South: Exit Sea World Drive head West; Exit at Ingraham / West Mission Bay Drive - keep in right lane and exit right on West Mission Bay Drive; head west - you will see Roller Coaster - continue straight through Mission Blvd. intersection and stop before you drive into the Pacific Ocean; turn left into Wave House parking lot. Q. How much does a Wave House cost to build? A. $5 million Q. How much does it cost to enter Wave House? A. $5 to see and be seen in the scene. Maybe $10 if it's busy. Get there early and it might be free. Q. Where was the first Wave House? A. Established in Durban, South Africa in 2001. Anchor of the Southern Hemisphere's largest shopping mall, Gateway.

Sal gives the Wave House the "shaka thumbs up" for one very cool and fun surfing ride. The Wave House Experience - FAQ Q. How do I get to ride? A. Each wave can book with up to 10 riders per hour. Cost: $20-$45/hour depending on wave and equipment: bodyboard/custom flowboard/custom flowboard with bindings. Sign in at the Wave House Athletic Club. Q. 'Is it dangerous?' A. The FlowRider � Wave-In-A-Box is one of the waterpark industry's safest attractions. As to the Bruticus Maximus' is a skate halfpipe dangerous? But at least it's padded with 1' of foam and a layer of water. Consequently, you don't drop in on your first try. You work your way up as you gain control, speed and amplitude. Be humble, or be humbled. Pleasure and pain are part of the same stick. Be afraid' you are a 'girlie man.' You may cry before you fly. Q. 'It's not `real' surfing?!' A. Never said it was. It's a fusion of surf, skate and snow techniques. It's a cross-platform that is a blast and feels just like surfing after you master the board. A lot of surfers report that the B-Max tunes their surfing, especially their tube riding, switch stance and airs. You can get more tube time in a minute-long ride than most surfers get in a lifetime. Besides, surfing has only followed skating and snowboarding in terms of maneuvers. However, you will see moves on the B-Max that haven't yet and maybe will never be landed in the ocean.

"A 10' HIGH BARRELING SURFING SPECTACLE IN A LIFESTYLE VENUE OF SAND, BOARDWALKS, BARBEQUE, AND BABES. This is how the Wave House describes themselves on their website at www.WaveHouse.com. All I can say is "Im in"!. "Sounds like I fit the demographics they are looking for perfectly" .The Wave House is a perfect place to come hang out and relax for lunch or happy hour. The bar areas have good views of the wave machine and the surfers and boogie boarders on it. The WaveHouse has a good menu (although it would be nice to get more salads, veggie burgers and vegetarian stuff on there.) 
The Wave House has as many people riding on boogie boards as they do with their surf boards. This girl was doing all kinds of cool spins, twists and flips on the Wave House foam surface. Photo by Mission Beach Online.com

History : In 2002, Thomas J. Lochtefeld, CEO of Wave Loch and Wave House, acquired the leasehold of Belmont Park, a failed beachfront retail specialty center. Lochtefeld intended to revitalize this seven acre facility by blending the original historic family-oriented amusement center with state-of-the-art boardsport entertainment and beach recreational amenities. 'As a native San Diegan, Belmont Park provided me with more than just a place to hang out with friends when growing up, it provided me my first job,' said Thomas J. Lochtefeld, CEO of Wave House. 'For eighty years, Belmont Park has provided San Diegans and visitors with recreational and entertainment amenities. Today marks the start of the long overdue revitalization of one of San Diego's historic recreational treasures.' Belmont Park has a long and storied history, starting in 1925 when the Mission Beach Amusement Center was built by John D. Spreckels. Today, Belmont Park comprises 70,000 sq. ft. of commercial retail space on a 7 acre campus with eight buildings and historic attractions including: the Giant Dipper Roller Coaster, one of the only two remaining antique wooden roller coasters in California, and the Plunge, Southern California's largest indoor swimming pool. The $8 million phase one redevelopment of Belmont Park includes: ● Wave House Athletic Club featuring a full gym, the historic Plunge Swimming Pool and a FlowRider� Wave-In-A-Box; ● Wave House's 30,000 sq. ft. outdoor Beach Bar and Grill; ● Mission Beach Police Satellite Office; ● $1 million aesthetic makeover to Belmont Park buildings and landscaping; and ● Debuting June 16, 2005, the launch of Wave Loch Bruticus Maximus, 10-foot barreling simulated surfing attraction. 'Wave House's vision for Belmont Park combines the historic character of Mission Beach, boardsport recreation, and modern technology to create the quintessential Southern California beach experience,' continued Lochtefeld Photo by Mission Beach Online.com
