ABSTRACT:
A device and method for creating waves of water are provided. A movable wave-generating member is cyclically reciprocated in a body of water to create the waves. A chamber and baffle, positioned adjacent the wave-generating member, act to dissipate wave energy from the return stroke of the wave-generating member due to the entrapment and compression of air within the chamber.
