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.
