How It Works: Pneumatic Chambers and Wave Control
Endless Surf is one of the leading pneumatic wave systems currently on the market. It creates surf by pushing air through caissons—also called pneumatic chambers—in sequence. This controlled release of air produces a variety of wave shapes and sizes.
The number of chambers installed at the deep end of its heart-shaped lagoon determines the system’s scale. For example, the Endless Surf 34 model uses 34 caissons, while the larger ES48 includes 48 chambers and spans 282 meters by 84.5 meters.
Wave Specs and Ride Potential
Wave heights generally range from 3 to 6 feet. However, the system can generate waves up to 7 feet tall, offering both left and right-hand breaks. The ride length varies by pool size. Smaller setups can yield 30 to 60 meter rides, while maximum configurations stretch up to 200 meters.
Using its single-peak setting, the system supports rides as long as 32 seconds. In terms of wave volume, the setup can produce 400 and 700 waves per hour.
The WavePoolMag podcast spoke with Endless Surf CTO Clement Ginestet and Product Lead, Axel Terradillos about the Endless Surf wave pool technology.
Dynamic Wave Control for Efficiency
Endless Surf highlights its ability to go beyond a basic on/off wave-generation model. The system can adjust output dynamically, which helps conserve energy when fewer surfers are in the water. Operators can also modify wave settings in real time to match individual skill levels, preferences, and changing weather conditions.
Surf Concierge and System Integration
The company has also introduced its Surf Concierge platform. This system manages session bookings, memberships, and in-park amenities. It integrates with Endless Surf’s Wave Doctor interface, which oversees machine diagnostics, and Swell Studio software, which handles wave customization.
