World's First Skydiving and Indoor Surf Park to Debut in Nashua, New Hampshire

First Dedicated Indoor Surf Park in U.S. Developed by Leading Wave Machine Company to Open at Skyventure New Hampshire in 2013

[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]American Wave Machines, Inc. (AWM), the leading wave technology innovation company, announced the debut of the world's largest standing wave surfing machine, the SurfStream® model SS5032, in Nashua, New Hampshire. This will be the first multi-sport venue with surfing and skydiving.

Called Surf‘s Up New Hampshire, it’s part of an expansion of SkyVenture NH, a profitable massive indoor skydiving venue. The all-season indoor SurfStream® will be connected to the skydiving facility and features a retractable glass roof for seasonal open air operation, glass walls for enhanced spectator viewing, surfside lounging, and a café.

With programmable controls and modular inserts, the SurfStream® model SS5032 creates multiple wave types in one machine. For experienced surfers the signature wave is the 5‘ barreling wave with 28’ of face to carve on. This set of wave modules can be assembled in both right and left breaks accommodating goofy and regular foot riders. For broad appeal, the system also features training and intermediate waves which operate at lower power. Due to this versatility, owners Laurie and Rob Greer have developed a robust pay-for-surf revenue model including interscholastic surf team packages to help develop local high school surf teams.

“We can already teach anyone to fly, now we can teach anyone to surf,” said Rob Greer, owner of SkyVenture NH. “SurfStream® is a tremendous value proposition with broad appeal. That‘s what convinced us to invest and that’s essential for our bottom line.”

Bruce McFarland, founder and CEO of AWM said, “Laurie and Rob are visionaries. Their expertise in action sports facility marketing and operations, not to mention their passion, has contributed greatly to the success of this project. They really do believe in the development of extreme sport talent.”
