APPARATUS AND METHOD 3D ARTIFICIAL HYPERBOLIC REEF FOR AFFECTING SURFACE WAVES

摘要

A 3D artificial hyperbolic reef system for producing plunging or barreling waves for surfing in a body of water propagates waves over a 3d hyperbolic reef which forms a wave breaking surface which has a slope sufficient to cause the waves to break in a plunging and barreling way as the waves traverse the 3d hyperbolic reef. The waves are artificial generated by a wave generating machine or device with a slope sufficient to break in a plunging and barreling way. Multiple waves are generated in a set frequency from the wave generator along the wave generator house (berm) side of the 3d artificial hyperbolic reef to produce a wave that peels laterally along the reef to produce a wave suitable for tube riding.;Aspects of the invention provide a wave surf pool including at least one 3D hyperbolic artificial reef. The 3D artificial reef can include an inclined slope traversing the reef from the tip of the 3D hyperbolic reef to the open end, or the back side of the 3D hyperbolic reef.
