The Wave (company)

The founder of the project is Nick Hounsfield. The project was named "The Wave: Bristol" in 2012, initially focusing on a site next to the Portway in Bristol. This site was rejected as it was not big enough. A site on farmland at Easter Compton was selected in 2013, with artificial wave generation technology supplied by the Spanish company Wavegarden. In August 2017, South Gloucestershire Council approved the £20 million scheme, which is designed to prioritise sustainability. In October 2019 construction was completed. == Setting ==

The Wave offers different sizes and styles of wave to suit different abilities, from white water to barrelling waves. The pool is divided into right and left sections, with waves breaking in opposite directions on each side. The wave pool can provide up to 1,000 waves per hour. There is space for up to eighty users at a time. Besides the wave pool, the scheme includes a clubhouse, lake, restaurant, camping ground, woodland trails, and gardens. The waves themselves are generated using only sustainable energy. == See also ==
