Surfing The Wave

Supplier: AFP Technology
More AFP Technology details

German company, ATV Action Team, diversified from making snow for TV production companies to creating surfing products two years ago.

The Wave is a standing wave, which uses endlessly revolving water. Staff at the company studied Munich River's famous wave, The Eisbach, as a basis for the technology, setting out to create an experience which is as close to surfing as possible.

The products range in size from 15m (49ft) to 30m (98ft)-wide.

ATV's Rainer Klimaschewski believes there's a great deal of potential for standing waves, as they give the opportunity of an authentic surfing experience with less investment than big wave pools. An installation was recently completed at the Alpincenter in Bottrop, Germany, and more are lined up for 2010. The product is also available as a mobile construction.
