New Practice for Classification, Design, Manufacture, Construction, Maintenance, and Operation of Wave Generation Equipment within Surf Venues
1. Scope
This practice applies to the classification, design, manufacture, construction, operation, maintenance, and inspection of Wave Generation Equipment within Surf Venues. Wave Generation Equipment within Surf Venues shall be defined as a system that includes: 1) A facility designed to create ocean like surfable waves 2) A shoaling wave within an enclosed body of water that breaks progressively at a predominately oblique angle towards shallow water, ie, a beach. 3) A variety of wave generation mechanisms to create the surfable wave, including but not limited to, dynamic moving objects, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc.
Keywords
Wave Generation; Surf; Surf Venues
Rationale
Due to the sporting nature of surfing, a surf wave generation system is a specialty amusement attraction does not really fit within any current ASTM standard. The development of surf venues is an expanding industry and developers of these specialty attractions need a standard to assist in design, permitting processes, construction, and operational expectations.
