kevincalvez, a wakebox? Who invented that? Can you move it or is it permanent?

When i asked the guy who built it "how much does it cost?" i thought his answer was a joke...
200 000$, and this shizzle is really really big, you can't move it, unless you have crane... Smash

I rode this for the paris nautic show, it's pretty good for practicing (easy to land crazy tricks), even though it's expensive...
