New McFly Wave and Latest Innovations on Display
American Wave Machines, the global leader in world-class surf pool destinations, has begun commissioning PerfectSwell® in the heart of Brazil’s vibrant financial center São Paulo. AWM has partnered with JHSF, Brazil’s leading high-end real estate development company, on their second PerfectSwell® location, the São Paulo Surf Club. With the iconic Ponte Estaiada bridge as a backdrop, top Brazilian Pros Italo Ferreira and Miguel Pupo, along with AWM’s Rob Kelly, put the latest PerfectSwell® innovations through the paces. Commissioning will be completed in March.
“Our team has done an incredible job. Improvements in PerfectSwell® efficiency, performance, and maintainability are ongoing along with continuing wave design innovations. A lot of R & D went into maintaining ride length and guest beach space in a totally unique footprint,” said Bruce McFarland, CEO and Founder of AWM. “The effort has paid off and PerfectSwell® is working great. It’s an unsurpassed surf experience.”
WSL Surfer Miguel Pupo said “It’s a mind-blowing experience to surf in the heart of the city in another incredible JHSF venue design. There’s so much power in these waves. We surfed the McFly, an incredible air section, and the other new waves, they’re all addicting. I can’t get myself to get out of the water.”
“This is the fifth PerfectSwell® commissioning I’ve been a part of and it’s easily the most iconic destination created yet. There are several improvements that have exceeded expectations including our newest wave energy dampening system,” said Miquel Lazaro Cordero, lead engineer at AWM. “These improvements have made it possible for us to bring our highest performance surf in this dense urban environment.”
