of water releases into an area of lower velocity flow, it slows down very quickly. The kinetic energy of the flow is converted to potential energy in the form of a wave known as a hydraulic jump. An example of an everyday hydraulic jump is the stationary circular wave that forms around a stream of water as it flows out of the tap and contacts a flat surface. The jump is characterised by fast moving water before the jump where there is also higher water depth and a more turbulent flow.

As for the standard requirement, a series of pumps at one end of a pool that push out a smooth flat, fast flow of water. The water then encounters a smooth bump called as a foil or spoiler to direct moving water upwards. The shape of the foil is altered to create different types of flows. The determination of this shape involves complex calculations. The hydraulic jump is formed between the spoiler and the force. A surfer has to manage true dynamic relationship between water streaming over the jump, the non-homonymic constraints of the board surfaces acting on the water and the gravity vector. It can be adjusted to different wave shapes including left and right barrelling waves, stable beginner waves, and natural standing wave which are deeper and more challenging. This is accomplished by parameters such as incoming flow rate, the incoming channel width and the contour of the bottom including the spoiler and the foil. The water is circulated continuously on a curling wave for example the water is pushed to one side of the pool
