3. Why a Surf facility? ๏
The UK surf sport has an estimated 250,000 regular participants (BSA 2006)and in the South West this number is exponentially higher in summer months.
๏
Surfing has become a metaphor for living a healthy, natural life, with over 20 million surfers worldwide in 86 countries.
๏
The surfing industry globally has surpassed $3 billion in revenue.
๏
The local economic impact of a world class surf spot is estimated at £3million per year.
๏
Surfing beaches boost local economy both from participants and spectators.
๏
Bristol has a thriving surfing community but no easy access to consistently good quality waves.
๏
The average Bristol surfer spends £3-6,000 in fuel getting to the beach per year!

Technology continued ๏
Low energy consumption, allowing profitable surfing based sports and lifestyle facilities for the first time ever.
๏
The wave breaks cleanly and as a barrel or as a beginners “spilling” wave.
๏
It can be deployed in a natural setting, thus enhancing the sensory enjoyment of the activity.
๏
Maximum wave height is 1.4 metres.
๏
It allows beginners and advanced surfers to surf at the same time, similar to a real beach.
๏
The wave can be predictably created.

6. Environmental Impact
๏
Edenwave will be built to create an ecological facility, becoming a natural space for the enjoyment of surfing. Within the site there will be a huge amount of educational tools to help users understand more about local and global ecology.
๏
Edenwave’s energy consumption is lower than any other comparable wave generator. This energy will be from green sources and generated on site where possible and supplied by green energy.
๏
The lake will blend naturally into the environment with soft sloping sides and it will create a water source for local wildlife.
๏
The generator is totally silent and is hidden under water and under ground.
๏
The only sound is the breaking wave and the sound of people having fun.
๏
The Carbon Footpint: CO2 levels emitted in a 90 minute surf session for one surfer is less than a car emits in just 1/5 of the journey to North Devon.( closest surf beach).
๏
Revenue from buying an Edenpass will be directly put back into the local ecology groups to help them fund their ecological projects.

7. Safety ๏
Surfing under normal conditions is a very safe sport. In edenwave it is monitored and supervised professionally. The waves are only created once everyone is ready and expecting the wave to be generated.
๏
Edenwave offers a controlled environment in terms of size, length and frequency of waves. There are no unexpected currents, the surfer is next to the shore at all times.
๏
We will have highly trained lifeguards to supervise all wave use and smaller children will need to be under the supervision of their parents.
