Testing a New WavePool Technology in Belgium.

AllWaves just launched their innovative wavemaking technology this month and invited us over to have a session! After a couple of planes and trains we arrived in Knokke-Heist, Belgium, where the R&D pool is located. In addition to testing out the waves, we also had the pleasure of trying some of Belgiums finest waffles and beers in a near by town called Bruges.

Here is a little breakdown of the technology "AllWaves is known for their pillow technology, an underwater fabric that moves up and down as well as laterally to produce waves. It is a soft structure without grids, nets, ropes, or other components – the membrane can be best compared to a bouncy castle but filled with water. Each section of the membrane can be adjusted to pull or push water. It’s these actions that create swell at the water’s surface. The hydraulic power system is in a dedicated room outside of the pool and can be maintained just like an ordinary hydraulic installation. AllWaves says that there are just a few parts under the membrane used to manipulate the textile."

You can head over to their website to learn more about the technology and where it is headed. Sounds like there are some projects in the works!
