There is a skate ramp located in the waters of beautiful Lake Tahoe. The idea of the project comes from the world famous professional skateboarder Bob Burnquist. Lake Tahoe with its beautiful blue color and the surrounding landscape has breathtaking view and because of that, it was the ideal location for a floating skate ramp. If your trick goes wrong and mistakenly fall through the ramp, you will land at “soft” surface water. What is better than that?

Scientists believed it was due to the unusual pure water, but new research suggests that the cause of that are the algae which live in the lake. During the research is measured the blueness of the lake and then is combined with measurements of depth “Secchi “, the depth at which a white disk remains visible when is immersed in water. It is discovered that with the lower of the purity, the water is bluer. That fact suggesting that they dependent on various factors. Purity depends on the sediments and the blueness depends of the algae. The lake was actually the bluest when the concentration of algae was the slightest.
