ABOUT SURFLOCH
The Pioneer and Continuing Innovator
of Inland Wave Generation
Through invention, SurfLoch brings the ocean to life through artful engineering. Within a compact footprint, our technology creates a boundless variety of ocean-like waves — each unique in form, energy, and rhythm.
Pneumatic
Wave Technology
Behind the waves
The Surf System uses a row of large concrete chambers, called caissons, built along one side of the pool. Each caisson is connected to powerful fans that quickly push air in or pull air out. When the air pressure above the water suddenly changes, it forces the water below to move, creating a pulse that travels across the lagoon as a wave.
Surf Loch’s patented technology goes a step further by using advanced motion control to manage both air pressure and vacuum. This allows extremely precise control over how each wave is formed, making the waves more customisable and consistent than any other, period.
For in every wave we craft lies our promise:
- performance born of innovation
- reliability shaped by experience
- flexibility guided by design
- safety at the heart of every surge.
THE RANGE
Our Pools
WaveBender 3° ™
The SurfLoch WaveBender 3° delivers powerful, ocean-like waves with 15-second rides every 15 seconds — offering double the capacity of other surf pools. Backed by over 40 years of SurfLoch innovation, the system generates A-frames, dedicated lefts and rights, and multiple beginner zones, creating progression pathways for surfers of all levels.

CrowdBreak™
The SurfLoch CrowdBreak™ is engineered for maximum wave throughput within a compact footprint of less than 5,000 sqm. Using SurfLoch’s patented CrowdBreak™ design, waves can be surfed left, right, or as A-frames — all within the same pool — delivering powerful, ocean-like rides up to 2.25m high simultaneously with multiple beginner zones.

Appointment Surfing
Earlier this week I had the pleasure of doing an Inherent Bummer conversation with a surf legend, a name that’s been imprinted in my brain since I saw The Endless Summer II at Pierside Pavilion in 1994 with my dad and watched Kelly Slater stand inside a man-made wall of water, a surfer synonymous with wave pools, inventor of the Flow Rider, founder of Surf Loch, Mr. Tom Lochtefeld.

Surf Loch Unveils New Wave Pool Design With Unique Cap’n Crunch Footprint
Surf Loch unveiled a new wave technology design that uses the same pneumatic caisson powering as previous models, but with a drastically different footprint. It’s called Wavebender. Last year, a surf park insider shared the design with WavePoolMag under the agreement that we would wait for the official launch to share.
