fakes waves near real waves

this is quite literally the one of the strangest things i've seen in peru -- a wave machine set up in Asia, the annoyingly pituco beach community south of Lima, which is on the water and very close to some splendid breaks. i can't figure out why anyone would get on a wave machine when there are consistent waves only 50 yards away. i understand that it's part of a marketing thing done by the cell phone company, but come on, it's a waste of water in a desert, and you can surf with dolphins if you bother to enter the ocean...
