PerfectSwell Shizunami has been constructed in record time in surf town Shizunami, Makinohara, Japan.
Located in a popular beach and surf town, PerfectSwell Shizunami is easily accessible by bullet train and boasts stunning views of Mount Fuji on the journey. Despite the difficulties that were presented over the past year with regards to the Coronavirus pandemic, the project was completed in a record 389 days.
The commissioning phase will see the trial of cutting-edge technology such as Temporal Distortion, a new feature that will allow for more hydrodynamic control. William McFarland, AWM Surf Programmer, explains: “Temporal Distortion will lead to an entirely new selection of waves for both high-performance and learning applications. It will add shifting elements to the surf creating a more dynamic wave overall.”
PerfectSwell Shizunami demonstrates how high-performance surf can be achieved in urban, surf-centric, relatively smaller footprint locations, referred to as ‘surf arenas’. This scalability demonstrates how PerfectSwell Surf Technology can be deployed globally in varied applications. “Surfing is in the Olympics for the first time only once. This is a watershed moment for the sport.” said Bruce McFarland, AWM Founder. “PerfectSwell Shizunami provides a consistent platform for athlete training, exhibitions, and events leading up to the Olympic Games.”
