Abstract: A wave machine (8) that produces different shapes of standing, parabolic-shaped waveforms (150) used by surfers (200). The parabolic waveforms (150) have different face angles and depths. The machine (8) includes a rotating container (10) partially filled with a fluid 140. When the container (10) is rotated, a standing, parabolic waveform 150 is created in the fluid (140). In one embodiment, the container (10) is bowl container (11) with curved panels (60) and terminate at an upper edge (16). On or near the upper edge (16) of the sidewall (14) is upper flange (18) that partially extends into the bowl container (11). The bowl container (11) is coupled to a speed adjustable drive mechanism (50). As the bowl container (11) is rotated, fluid (14) is forced outward against the sidewall (14) and forms a parabolic waveform (150). As the speed of rotation is increased, the fluid (140) flows upward over the sidewall (14) and against the upper flange (18).
