AllWaves: The Innovative Surfing Wave Pool Made in Belgium

AllWaves, a revolutionary wave pool technology from Belgium, brings surfing to artificial lakes, providing landlocked surfers with an authentic surfing experience.

Designed by wave energy expert Steven Nauwelaerts and serial entrepreneur Geert Nauwelaerts, AllWaves aims to create the world's safest wave pool with a natural look and feel.

The system uses a durable textile pillow on the basin floor, moved hydraulically to mimic ocean waves.

This technology allows for customizable waves, accommodating all skill levels.

"Our wave generation knowledge is captured in intelligent algorithms with infinite wave variability. A simple push on the app makes the desired wave roll," notes CEO Steven Nauwelaerts.

AllWaves' design includes a natural-looking lake with 360-degree sloping beaches and generates a wave every seven seconds, enhancing surfer experience and investor ROI.

The system can create waves up to six feet in a 100-meter by 100-meter basin, holding 64 surfers simultaneously. It features left and right-hand point breaks and an A-frame peak.

With a lifelong guarantee, AllWaves partners with leaders in hydraulic manufacturing and high-tech textiles to ensure reliability.

The technology is on display at the company's site in Knokke-Heist, Belgium, where it runs on renewable energy, highlighting its carbon-neutral footprint.

AllWaves is ideal for recreational surf parks, water parks, professional practice venues, and mixed-use real estate developments, combining safety, aesthetics, and energy efficiency.

The world is made better when the joy of riding a wave is given to those not able to live near an ocean. Sharing the stoke, learning to ride a wave is good medicine for all. Bravo Belgium!

[jimplummer]

Way to go Belgium. It would be cool to make it a surf destination.

[spinafex]

It looks more like an ocean wave than the other pools, however needs to be at least a foot bigger. FYI for the developers - safety is not a selling point for surfers. You can wear a helmet in concrete bottom pools if it bothers you.

[ItsWesSmithYo]

Really cool how tech is bringing something to the places with no beaches 🤙🏽😎🖤🏄

[davidcalvo]

It's a wave for midlengths, something for everyone😊

[hrvstmusic]

I remember when they had one of these outside of Austin. It didn’t last long.

[joelcorral]

The race for artificial knee to waist high waves continues...

[surftraveller]

I wonder how big the waves can get in that pool. Looks fun though.

[mackash]

This is the type of waves that you pull up to the car park and realise there is no waves. Then you go home and wait for a real swell.

[dodge]

does it get any bigger? looks kinda small and meh 1-2ft

[Rodrigorodriguez]

Cool it’s knee high and closing out lol.

[alainvosselman]

Shit and this is in my own country !? Thanks for sharing i was completely oblivious to its existence lol.

[johndarcey]

‘It’s really safe because it is in a pool’ Maybe put some sharks in there to make it more real?

[constantineandreu]

Definitely in need of a filtration system ASAP! Like WACO😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Water is nasty💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[AlesVid]

w
at??? Wanneer, waar, hoe? Is deze open voor iedereen??

[rcattaneo]

yeah but the A frame kinnda meets the left and right at a point. safe?

[boddysurfer]

For all the wave pool haters in the comments. Clearly you have forgotten the effort it takes to get to even an intermediate skill level and these pools provide an environment where anyone can learn to surf.

[j.f.c]

It definitely looked like the ocean in some of the angles. This could even be put into a calm bay somewhere.

[ciscosebanes]

Seemed to even have a back wash❤ hows about adding a dash of salt😊😍

[sci-fi]

Great idea but needs to be 2-4 times bigger waves
