This is a truly amazing project and having helped by crowd funding, and backing it up since the start, I am proud to play a small part in making this happen. I have with a group of friends pledged to have 2 hours on the Wave before it opens, I will also be spending the morning on the wave hopefully as a friend who won the SAS prize would like me to join her. I have also purchased a T shirt, to both promote The Wave UK & try to win the lifetime membership. Uber, Super Duper Excited !!! Amazing project ... Keep working hard! A very Exciting Year ahead :0)
