Press Release
Knokke-Heist, Belgium – May 17, 2024 – AllWaves, a pioneering company in wavepool technology, has unveiled its innovative technology by means of a demonstration by international surfers. Its revolutionary patented system allows surfing on an artificial lake and thus opens up the possibility of bringing surfing experiences closer to enthusiasts. Its unique natural appearance allows for infinite wave variations and is now ready for sale to surf park developers worldwide.
Surfing is definitely my second passion and in Belgium there’s just not that much surf. So to have the opportunity to go to wavepools when I’m home is bliss.

Safe, energy efficient and accessible
Over recent years, the popularity of surfing has skyrocketed, fueled by the global pandemic and the sport’s Olympic appearances in Japan and Paris 2024. Surf spots are becoming overly crowded when conditions are good.
AllWaves is now at the forefront of the next evolution in the surf industry: to increase access to the sport in a predictable & controlled environment.
The system mimics the movement of ocean waves and can be adjusted to create big or small, hollow or crumbling waves, depending on the skill level of the surfer. The underwater pillow technology is designed to be safe, energy-efficient, and financially interesting for project developers.
“I’m thrilled to see the positive responses of the market,” says Steven Nauwelaerts, AllWaves founder and CEO. “As a passionate surfer who has spent a decade working in renewable wave energy, it’s a dream come true to introduce an energy efficient wave-making technology.”
Commercial Applications
AllWaves’ vision is to share the passion for surfing, so everyone can surf perfect waves, close to home with ease, comfort and above all, stoke. The company’s wavepool technology features low operating costs, which also ensures its numerous applications, ranging from recreational surf parks, water parks, professional practice venues for surf federations to mixed-use real estate developments.
There were a lot of people in the pool today and everyone was getting waves, that’s what you want in a wavepool.
