The technology is to be used in Japan for a wave pool for the 2021 Olympics, but has never been used in Australia. It is best known for the Waco park in Texas and is described as the most versatile wave pool technology, with operators able to control the shape and size of waves. A surf park with American Wave Machines technology has been proposed for the Bruce Highway at the Glass House Mountains. Operators can offer left or right breaks for beginners right through to advanced surfers, with the ability to cater waves for barrels or airs. The pool would be 315m long and 92m wide - about 100m longer than Japan s Olympic wave pool.
