AWM is honored to participate in the 2011 Biomimicry Conference being held at the San Diego Zoo April 14-15. Stop by the expo on Thursday to check out our SurfStream wave machine scale model!

On Feb. 26 surfers showed off their skills on SurfStream Peru’s barreling wave as part of a ‘Best Trick’ contest and surf exhibition sponsored by Skullcandy. The bands “Menores de edad” and “Bomba Estereo” from Colombia played live at the event, which also featured a skate exhibition organized by Quiksilver. Check out the video by Peru Surf:

History was made in Sweden on Feb. 4 when surfers from all over the country gathered at Sundvall’s Himlabadet facility to show off their skills on the SurfStream. The riders pulled out all the stops – cutbacks, floaters, even 360s – and William Åhlund grabbed the victory in the final round. The event was covered by Swedish national television (watch HERE) and made headlines in the largest newspaper in Sweden. Check out the article HERE.
Contest Results:
The largest SurfStream in the world is now barreling in Peru. On January 13th, the Ola Movistar venue opened to the public with the company of the Peruvian national surf team. Sofia Mulanovich, Analí Gómez, Gabriel Villarán, Carlos Mario Zapata and others tried out the SurfStream for the first time. Check out this video done by El Comercio of Peru. Surfers are on the deep-water training wave on real boards with fins. The machine also creates the largest left and right breaking thick water barrel in the world and an oscillating whitewater wave. More coverage to come!
