Smart Systems Equal Satisfied Surfers

By now, you’ve probably seen a few posts about how Endless Surf is the next generation of surf parks. In fact, you probably see a lot of companies talk about why their product or service is the “next generation of so-and-so”. And while that is easy to claim, it’s also harder to prove.

Our wave technology has been perfected for over 40 years, allowing us to create natural waves for the widest range of surfers, all in different zones based on skill-level. Reliable and long-lasting, Endless Surf’s waves are fast settling and can be generated every 8 seconds, also making it high capacity. Needless to say, these are all outstanding features of a state-of-the-art surf pool and certainly one of the ways in which Endless Surf is the next generation of surf parks. The other? Our proprietary software.

Endless Surf isn’t just about making waves—we also want you to be able to easily and effectively operate them—keeping your surfers happy and your operations efficient. As both will have an impact on your bottom line, we have created two incredibly powerful tools that work together to help you manage your guests and your waves.

The first is Wave Doctor™, the interface by which you’ll control your waves, and the pumping heart of your venue. Here, the operator uses an intuitive touchscreen to start and stop the wave, program wave sessions based on skill level with different types of waves selected for different zones within the pool, and change the wave pattern in real time. The flexibility that Wave Doctor gives a venue means that no two sessions need ever be the same, just like an ocean surfs are different every time, ensuring the variety of waves surfers demand.

Other than looking out at the wave to see how many people are surfing, how do you know who’s surfing? How many first timers? Experts? What’s the mix? Did they all sign a waiver? Watch the safety video? That’s where Surf Concierge comes in.

If our pneumatic wave technology is the brawn behind Endless Surf, then Surf Concierge is the brains. Your surf park’s guest management platform, Surf Concierge has been designed to work with Wave Doctor, so that your guests have a seamless and easy journey to getting on your waves; waves that are tailor-made for them because you know who is surfing them.

Powered by Vantage, WhiteWater’s venue management platform for entertainment destinations, Surf Concierge gets your surfers on waves quickly and safely.

  1. Starting with the Surf Concierge guest app, your guests can buy tickets and book time slots
  2. Guest manage their profiles, and complete digital waivers, either on-site or before their visits.
  3. Once they get to your surf park, they’ll be given a smart wrist band which they can link to their app to track their surf.

For the first time operators can, with just a simple tap on portable tablets at your wave, instantly know who is on the wave, their skill level, and whether they’ve signed a waiver.

This knowledge share goes both ways, as your guests will receive push notifications on their apps reminding them of their upcoming reservations, and then, using their wrist bands, easily tap into their sessions.  Venues can expand on Surf Concierge’s guest convenience by adding Vantage modules which enable the same wrist band to open their locker and provide cashless payments on site.

Your staff can see guest profiles on their portable tablets, confirming if guests are in the right time, if they’ve completed all required safety protocols, and if they are in the best wave zone for their ability. This information is also viewable by the Wave Doctor operator, who is running your wave, taking the guess work out of programming the right waves for the surfers’ skill levels.

Together Wave Doctor and Surf Concierge transform your surf pool from a brick and mortar venue into a smart and interactive destination that gives your guests a seamless visitor experience and your operations powerful guest data. The result? Repeat visitations, positive online reviews, efficient processes, and smarter decision-making to drive your ROI.

回顾造浪池发展历史中技术飞跃的几次里程碑时刻(二)

大约一年前,当我们推出无极冲浪湾时,我开始回顾白水在制造气动波方面的悠久历史(点击此处阅读第一部分的历史回顾)。几十年来,我一直深度参与这些项目,看到业内众多创新者共同取得的进步,实在令人惊叹。正如第一部分所详述的,包括WaveTek、ADG、Murphy’s Waves、Barr + Wray以及白水在内的多家公司,曾成功交付了众多项目,这些项目真实展现了制造可供冲浪的波浪所需的内在运作机制。回顾这些项目,我们可以看到技术——以及由此推动的人工造浪行业——的发展始终是循序渐进的。作为行业共同体,我们已摸索出哪些方法行之有效(哪些行不通),这使我们走到了今天——围绕冲浪乐园的新兴产业已然形成。   白水超过35年的合伙人 Andrew Wray 技术转折点 最重要的是,我们所有的项目,无论是气动还是液压造浪系统,都运用了波浪排列和波浪阻尼。这是大冲浪项目中的重要缺失。大冲浪项目以Phillip…

回顾造浪池发展历史中技术飞跃的几次里程碑时刻(一)

Andrew Wray, Partner at WhiteWater 我参与造浪池建设已有数十年之久,具体时间长到我都不愿细数了,但在我看来,过去几年间这一领域发生了质的飞跃,冲浪乐园产业正真正开始步入正轨。关于冲浪运动的爆炸式增长及其全球吸引力如何推动新项目热潮,我无需多言;相反,这让我不禁回想起波浪池数十年来丰富多彩的发展历程。 你也许会感到惊讶,造浪池的历史可以追溯到1870年代巴伐利亚国王的地下水径,人们在洞穴中交际,并体验其中的涟漪。又或许你更熟悉的是,建于1969年的亚利桑那州坦佩的大冲浪(Big Surf),它被认为是造浪池的原型。这两个案例都是里程碑,当然其间还有很多历史。然而,在造浪池历史上有这样一个时代,它奠定了造浪池技术层面成功的基础,却时常被忽视。   1934年,伦敦一座造浪池的概念图。尽管波浪的幅度还不足以“乘浪”,但也接近了………

造浪池的可持续性:对行业和地球的承诺

造浪池是否可持续? 在谷歌上快速搜索一下,就会出现大量标题为“造浪池热潮是否是一场环境灾难?”或“造浪池:环境问题大于其价值”的文章、网页和论坛。显然,冲浪造浪池的可持续性是公众关注的焦点,无极冲浪湾也深知这一点。但对于“环境问题超过了冲浪造浪池的价值”这一观点,我们谨此表示不同意,主要原因在于情况并非如此。 无论是对于我们的冲浪造浪池,还是客户的开发项目,我们都全力致力于减少环境影响,并已实施多项创新措施,大幅降低了环境影响,从而减少了整个开发项目的碳足迹。去年,我们曾发表一篇文章,介绍了无极冲浪湾为提升冲浪造浪池技术的可持续性所采取的措施(点击此处阅读)。过去一年中,我们一直与客户紧密合作,随着许多项目即将迎来预定开业日期,我们依然对可持续创新的承诺充满信心。 “少即是多”一直是我们开发无极冲浪湾技术时的核心理念 无极冲浪湾技术中的关键可持续性创新包括: 运行灵活性 – 根据冲浪者容量生成浪 不浪费浪、能源或收入 紧凑占地面积…

造浪池运营:浪涌工作室定制波浪

无论是在海洋里还是造浪池中,冲浪者们对多样化的喜爱和他们对自家附近的波浪的态度一样。我们不断的查看《冲浪线》了解预报情况,从风力到浪涌方向,事无巨细。然后,根据当天的预测决定浆板方向,因为波浪千差万别。如果海岸线的预测表格看起来很有希望,我们就出发。这是为什么我们常常会前往世界的角落,寻求我们在居住地无法体验的波浪。我们不断的寻求完美。但对于冲浪者而言,完美有着不同的形状和规模。我们判断的依据通常仅仅是”那个波浪会有多好玩儿?” 浪涌工作室软件:将波浪多样性带入您的造浪池 在设计无极冲浪湾技术时,我们希望在造浪领域进一步创新,将你在海洋中遇到的,更丰富的多样性,带入冲浪乐园。基于强力、可靠且高效的气动技术,我们发现了另一项我们希望拓展的价值:对造浪池后墙位置处的每个压力造浪室独立编程,分段定制波浪。浪涌工作室是无极冲浪湾软件包的重要组成部分,其功能无疑开创了人工造浪的新方向。 https://cdn.endlesssurf.cn/2022/02/03-Wave-Design.mp4-1080p.mp4   如果冲浪拥有其自己的”创意云”平台,浪涌工作室应该拥有一席之地。它使得无极冲浪湾的运营商可以根据众多不同因素,分段控制定制波浪。借助气动技术的精准性,浪涌工作室对造浪室(根据无极冲浪湾造浪池尺寸,从24到60不等)加以控制,并可编程实现不同的释能方式以制造波浪。你可以把每个造浪室想象成钢琴的琴键。运营商们通过”琴键”演奏出无极丰富的曲调——这些曲调就是独一无二的波浪。 运营商可以控制其冲浪乐园内波浪的: 高度 速度 角度…
