ABSTRACT:
Mechanism which provides a method and apparatus for constantly and cyclically generating, within a body of water remote from a shoal, series of waves of different lengths, which waves merge and cooperate with a shoal to form a single wave in an area that lies substantially above the shoal. The power generated by the merging of the waves is sufficient to form that single wave into one that functions as a surfing wave.
The invention further provides for the forming of a shoal and beach if natural shoal and beach are not present. An artificial shoal is constructed and in cooperation with the generated waves, those waves will travel up the slope of the shoal to form waves suitable for surfing.
