Last October we became aware of pop superstar Pharrell Williams’ ambitious proposal to bring a wave pool to his hometown, Virginia Beach. It was and still is interesting that a musician who (as far as we know) doesn’t surf would be intimately involved in a project that aims to put a wave pool at the center of a development/revitalization initiative. But in a recent video, Pharrell details – in an abstract way – his attraction to the development that is collectively being referred to as “The Wave.”
