The world’s leading
technology for
standing waves

Deep-water design allowing riders to use authentic surfboards with fins and progress their skills just like in the ocean.

citywave is not a sheet wave—and it’s not a massive traveling-wave lagoon. Its deep-water design allows riders to use authentic surfboards with fins, engage their rails, and progress their skills just like in the ocean. A stable, powerful flow supports true carves, snaps, cutbacks – maneuvers that thin-sheet waves simply can’t replicate. Deep water also means safer, softer falls without the hard-bottom impacts common to sheet-flow systems. And unlike large lagoon builds, citywave delivers this performance in a compact footprint with lower CapEx and faster development timelines.
