This churning, 22,000-gallon container is the Wave Box - the world's first portable hydraulic whirlpool. The rapids, formed by twin 50-horsepower industrial pumps that send 6,400 gallons of water a minute over the 6-foot-wide waterfall, carve a hole deep enough for classic kayak tricks like blunts, spins, and cartwheels. Created by high-performance boat maker Confluence Watersports, the pool is a better way to train. "You can try all sorts of new moves you wouldn't likely be able to do on the river," says freestyle kayaking world champion Eric Jackson. And, by doing for kayaking what climbing walls did for rock climbing, Confluence could make one heck of a splash.
