SurfStream™ Selected as Most Valuable Product for 2007 by Aquatics International Magazine and as “It” Product by Waterpark Resorts Today
World’s first standing wave machine receives two awards for high reader response
Solana Beach, CA – June 26, 2007 American Wave Machines, Inc., (AWM) an innovator in artificial wave technology, announced today that the SurfStream standing wave machine has received two awards. Surfstream was selected as one of the Most Valuable Products for 2007 (MVP) award by Aquatics International magazine and as one of Waterpark Resorts Today’s “It” Products for 2007. The honors were determined by reader response to a feature in the January 2007 New Products issue of Aquatics International.
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 of 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.
SurfStream creates an open river of water where standing waves form up and away from subtle bottom contours. Unlike other wave pools, SurfStream uses less power while increasing the capacity for more riders to surf simultaneously (up to five on a 12foot wide wave). Available as a permanent or mobile installation, SurfStream is also scaleable to match each waterpark’s own layout requirements.
“We are getting lots of interest from waterparks and resorts worldwide for the SurfStream standing wave pool,” said Bruce McFarland, president of AWM. “Surfing is a huge market, and with SurfStream, even land-locked places can give people the experience of real surfing.”
As an award winner, SurfStream will be highlighted in a four-color pictorial issue of reader-selected It Products in the premier issue of Waterpark Resorts Today 2007-2008 Annual IT Book, scheduled for August 2007. Both Aquatics International and Waterpark Resorts Today are published by Hanely Wood Business Media in Los Angeles.
