Our System Replicates Ocean Waves

The Science of Swell Creation

Through meticulous air control utilizing both vacuum and pressure within a wave chamber, we generate a wave pulse that, upon exiting, transforms into a flawless surfing wave in the pool, with each wave’s attributes shaped by our energy application and the ocean floor’s bathymetry.
