Synchronizing or staggering the opening and closing of air-direction valves in a wave pool will create varying wave pat- terns. Roller One line of water that spans the width of the pool.

Every summer, millions of people visit water parks. Among the most popular features are artificial beach shores known as wave pools. These pools simu- late a natural surf using compressed air. Wave pool settings can be config- ured to provide different wave types. Here’s how a typical wave pool works: Double roller Researched and illustrated by David Arbanas, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Two lines of water, one right after the other.
