This surf environment provides surfers with an incredible outdoor ride and perfect for urban setting and tourism purpose. This type of technology can be installed in the hotel and resort, sport centre or standing alone project that required a big area. This technology applies The Liquid Time Wave Pool (called wave pool from hereon) concept, invented and copyrighted by Greg Webber, strives to produce surfing waves by using ship waves. The project aims are wave heights up to 2 m to facilitate wave conditions for surfers with intermediate to expert level.

An initial design of the wave pool is based on a circular pool with an outer diameter of 200m. Several hulls are towed along the outer wall generating a wave pattern propagating inwards. Waves are intended to break on a 1:6 slope starting 13 m from the outer wall. The breakpoint moves in a circular path, and nearly endless surf rides are therefore possible. The hulls are tapered, being 3 meters wide at the still water level and 4 meters wide at the pool floor. The hulls are 12 m long and each hull is supposed to
