How artificial waves are made
Robotics guy Matthew Ang finds out how artificial waves are generated

Ever wondered how artificial waves are generated?

Matthew Ang finds out how at the newly-opened Flow House Manila.

It’s summer and what better time to get your fix of sun, sea, and surf?
But if you can’t leave the city, there’s a good alternative to the beach here at Flow House Manila.

Here, waves are generated using two large pumps on a padded surface.
It runs on a continuous sheet wave technology, generating waves running up to 45 kilometers per hour.
Its surface is called a composite membrane and acts like a padded trampoline that makes water flow upwards.
That makes it safe for kids and newbie surfers.

MARTIN DEVEZA, FLOW HOUSE MANILA: It mimics the carving down of the slope when you’re snowboarding, when you’re surfing, and when you’re wakeboarding.

Flow House is located at Seasons Mall in Bacoor, Cavite, a 20-minute drive from Metro Manila.
