But hardly any surfable waves – except during the most freezing autumn and winter storms. On top of that, our shoreline is solid rock. Artic surfing is hardcore by definition. In Finland it is also nearly impossible. But some of us just do it anyway. Artwave creates waves with what we've been given: guts and open water. Some say our project is impossible and unthinkable. For us it is an irresistib
le call. The best project ever. And it has been a long journey so far. Artwave is now a patented technology for creating surfable waves in open water. We enable a cost efficient, environmentally responsible and excellent surfing experience everywhere, for everyone. Artwave is the first man-made wave, which does not require a massive upfront investment or operating expenses. Nor does it need a pool. We can deliver an easy set-up for urban shorelines, rivers, lakes, ponds or even surf resorts with many simultaneous waves. Our solution is entirely mobile. Once we leave, there is no permanent trace in the nature. Only a positive impact as our waves can renew oxygen in the water by keeping it moving and refreshed. This is called water aeration, which can also prevent harmful algae blooms. Our technology combines mechanics and fluid dynamics. It's easy to assemble and disassemble. We use a low-power engine and a sailboat-inspired wing system that makes constant waves. This is a Finnish story about stoke.
