Surf Park Market is Here | Authentic Surf Outside the Ocean

PerfectSwell® - Authentic Surfing Experiences Beyond the Ocean

The Surf Park market is here. John Luff, business development staff at AWM was interviewed about the surf park market and sustainable tourism in a compelling article in Transworld Business seen here.  AWM continues to lead the way in the development of surfing beyond the ocean with existing installations around the globe and planned openings in New Hampshire, Montreal, South Dakota, and Sochi, Russia — site of the 2014 Winter Olympics.

“Surf Parks are the key to making surfing a mainstream, commercially sustainable sport and to promoting surfing as an iconic lifestyle that transcends all nationalities and cultures.” – John Luff

AWM’s PerfectSwell® and SurfStream® technologies allow for authentic recreational and advanced surfing experiences. This is made possible by AWM’s patented wave systems designed and engineered for the best user experience and the best long term owner experience.

SurfStream® – The ideal small footprint solution for  versatile & endless wave riding on real surfboards.

Very large scale surf pools using computer optimized PerfectSwell® technologies that simulate an authentic ocean environment are  currently in production. AWM’s PerfectSwell® wave generation systems offer practical solutions for resorts and waterparks such as in Sochi as well as surf parks specifying waves up to 12′ or more.  Stay tuned for these openings and watch for several new locations to be announced soon.

AWM looks forward to working with both large scale and small scale surf park projects around the globe and meeting specifications with the most cost effective and world class wave generation systems on the market.
