  • Patent number: 6920651
    Abstract: A circular ring wave pool having an island in the center, the pool water depth becomes deeper the farther away from the island to the outside pool wall. A plurality of wave generators encompass the entire outer wall deep side of the pool. All wave generators point directly to the center of the island. Wave generators are synchronized in their action to produce waves that travel around the circular ring shaped pool in an endless loop therefore creating a traveling surfing wave that never ends. Many waves can be generated simultaneously creating a plurality of endless waves moving around the island. The sloping beach is at an angle to create a hollow tube breaking wave depending on wave speed and size. Hundreds of surfers can be in the pool at the same time all sitting out past the wave breakpoint waiting for an available wave to pass.
