citywave® Technology: emulates famous natural standing waves like Oahu’s North Shore Waimea River Sand Bar or the Eisbach River in Munich.

Deep Water: patented technology creates a deep water wave which allows for the use of real surfboards with fins for carving turns.

Authentic Surf Experience: this is not a “sheet wave” like you may have seen at water parks or cruise ships, the Wai Kai Wave is a real surfing wave.

On-Demand Wave Variety for All Skill Levels: by changing the water volume and also adjusting the sub-surface foils we can create breaking sections for attacking the lip or practicing airs. Wave height can vary from 2-foot to head high.

Drop-In Surfing: typically, there are 10-12 surfers per channel at a time, similar to a skate park, where you drop in when it’s your turn. Don’t worry about getting your fill, after one 45-minute session your legs will be begging for a rest!

Multi-Sized Surf Channels: the 100-foot wide wave can operate with 1, 2 or 3 channels of surf action which maximizes the ability to run contests, create a variety of waves for varying skill levels and have 30+ people surfing at once.

Safety: the entire surf pool is padded to create soft falls.  After you fall you gently wash out into a shallow area behind the surf zone.

All Ages Can Learn: the learning curve is easy for kids on up to active seniors. Our amazing surf coaches guide all first timers through the entire process.
