Wave pool for surfers expected to crest into New Smyrna Beach in 2022
NEW SMYRNA BEACH Eric Geiselman once survived an encounter with a Great White Shark that bit his surfboard in half.
In 2015, his younger brother Evan was rescued after being swallowed by a 20-foot wave at Oahu s North Shore, leaving his face a blueish-purple color, foaming at the mouth and without breath.
The brothers from New Smyrna Beach have both seen surf breaks around the world, and while nothing can compare to the adventure of Mother Nature s oceans, a new technology that s coming to town has them stoked. American Wave Machines, Inc., has announced it s building a world-class wave pool some 7 miles west of the Atlantic Ocean.

There are myriad tales of mysterious vanishings and deaths out there which will probably never be solved. Yet among these some of the most enduring and mysterious are those that happened to those who are well known celebrities in some respect, as well as those infused with a sense of conspiracy and unknown, nefarious parties lurking in the shadows. One case that combines both of these elements is that of a rock star who went on to become an important tech prodigy and then vanish off the face of the earth to leave plenty of mysterious and bizarre clues in his wake.
