Wavebender™ Unveiled in late 2025, this breakthrough design uses a semi-circular caisson layout and custom bathymetry to create waves that "bend" toward the surfer, mirroring a natural reef pass.

WaveWare™ Control System A proprietary software suite (developed with Siemens) that allows operators to customize wave height, shape, and frequency at the push of a button. It can produce everything from mellow beginner rollers to high-performance barrels and air sections.
