How Do You Design a Wave Pool? Clem & Axel Share the Know How

The machine powering the transformation of German surfing is an Endless Surf 34 caisson wave pool, or ES34 to those in the know. How do you design a wave pool? Much of the heavy design and programming was done by the talented hands of Clément Ginestet and Axel Terradillos. WavePoolMag wanted to know how the dynamic duo dealt with the stress of bringing a multi-million dollar project to life, as well as how the process of designing a wave pool works. We know that engineers live and breathe CFD models, but what about those little cosmic surprises that occur when the randomness of the universe shows up unexpectedly? Clem and Axel allowed us this unique view into the nailbiting debut of the first Endless Surf wave pool.
