thrill of real surfing. Using surf boards and body boards, our latest wave attractions are designed
for beginners who ‘wanna’ be pro.

allows for the use of surf boards with fins, creating a true surf
experience and offering a great introduction to the sport of
surfing. Works with body boards too.
08
SurfCatcher™
The SurfCatcher™ is the ideal ‘learn to surf’ attraction. With wave
heights ranging from 2 to 4 feet, riders experience the full thrill of
surfing: paddling into, standing up on, and riding a true wave
in a safe and controlled environment. Works with body
boards too.
Let’s go surfing now
everybody’s learning how
Integrating the Surf Series products into one venue creates a platform for enthusiasts
to learn how to surf. They can paddle and stand up on the SurfCatcher™ and practice
carving turns on the SurfRider™.
Skill vs. Thrill
Wave Loch technology provides

the antidote to thrill fatigue
fa
BEGINNER
INTERMEDIATE
Key Concepts
Skill vs. Thrill
Boardsports such as surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding and
flowboarding are skill-based activities that challenge riders to develop
new tricks to emulate their heroes. By comparison, the typical water
park or theme park rides are thrill-based rides. No skill is required and
no reward or accomplishment is earned. The more you ride a thrill
ride the less thrilling it becomes. This is what we call thrill fatigue.
10
Wave Loch™ technology is the antidote to thrill fatigue. The adrenaline
rush of successful challenges met, inspire riders to achieve a neverending cycle of skill based reward. Thereby increasing rider visitations
and loyalty.
ADVANCED
Lifestyle
Wave Loch™ DNA is a double helix of wave calculus and wave riding
passion. We surf. We live and work at the beach. We infuse our
products with our passion and stay close to our roots. Our products
are icons of the California beach lifestyle.
Wave Loch™ attractions create an emotional connection
to a multi-billion dollar board sports industry. Our wave
technologies are proven in attracting the valuable youth
market, families and boardsport enthusiasts.
When orchestrated correctly, the lifestyle identification inherent in
Wave Loch technologies can significantly increase overall venue
revenues beyond those generated directly by the waves, including
sales of food and beverage, retail products, sponsorship opportunities
and corporate and competitive events.
Revenue Generation
The true economics of Wave Loch™ attractions extend beyond the revenue generated directly
by the ride.
Wave technologies generate revenue through paid ridership. Every
wave has a maximum capacity, a maximum price per ride, and a
maximum total possible revenue.
Yet the economics of a Wave Loch™ product aren’t limited to these
simple measurements.
Skill vs. Thrill keeps riders coming back. Lifestyle integrity
keeps riders on the waves and brings others to watch.
Both of these concepts create opportunities to generate
additional revenue.
Each venue has a powerful set of tools available to fine-tune the
revenue generating power of Wave Loch™ products in a way that
best suits its business.

MAKING MONEY IS MORE THAN SELLING
A RIDE TICKET, YOU’VE GOT TO THINK LIFESTYLE,
AND CREATE MULTIPLE SOURCES OF INCOME
Integration of multiple revenue streams is the path to long-term viability and success:
●
●
The skill component of the waves allows for the creation of
competitive and special events.
The lifestyle connection of the wave creates retail and branding
opportunities.
●
The communal nature of the wave experience is ideal for
corporate and group bookings and parties.
●
●
The strong youth demographic presents outstanding
opportunities for sponsorship.
The show element of the wave offers opportunities with food and
beverage service for those watching.
●
The uniqueness of each wave and the identification with
the sports of flowboarding and surfing promotes the sale
of wave-branded merchandise such as boards, t-shirts
or wetsuits.
