The SurfStream Difference

SurfStream is the first true standing wave surf pool. Riders use real surf boards with fins to surf on a deep cushion of water. This gives them the most sought after surfing experience – “the long ride.” SurfStream accomplishes this in a compact area, without the need for a large surge tank or surf-pool type installation.

SurfStream creates an open river of water where standing waves form up and away from subtle bottom contours, but don’t travel toward a shore or boundary. Therefore, less space is needed to create great waves. Unlike older sheet flow technology, SurfStream uses less power while increasing the capacity for more riders to surf simultaneously (up to five on a 12-foot wide wave). It is also scaleable to match each waterpark’s own layout requirements.

AWM Products/Services

SurfStream, introduced in 2006, is the first standing wave surf pool that creates an authentic surfing experience anytime, anywhere. Riders at resorts, waterparks, sports events and cruise ships can use real surf boards with fins to surf on a deep cushion with water that creates an endless wave. SurfStream accomplishes this in a compact area, without the need for a large surge tank or surf-pool type installation.

AWM also provides engineering, design and analysis services for surf pools, wave generation technology, and open channel flow. Using state-of-the-art tools, AWM develops computer and physical 3D models for design and analysis.
