AllWaves brings technology to the market to generate artificial waves in a surf lake, reflecting the natural setting as much as possible.
The Playgrounds device is unique as it is the first underwater wave generating tool. As the device is located under water, a safe environment with low visual and noise impact is created.
Named after one of the best and most versatile surf regions in the world, the Playgrounds technology provides all the advantages of traditional technologies such as high wave count, preconditioning, broad spectrum in wave heights, shapes, styles and speeds and mitigating the down sides of traditional technologies such as visual impact, safety hazards, natural frequency tuning and high cost.
The unique device is able to create 4 surfzones and host different levels of surfers (beginner/advanced) at the same time without interfering each other.
The technology is driven by a highly efficient energy system based on the team a background in the wave energy sector.
