East Point Reef Club: Ka'ana's CM7 Standing Wave Explained

British Columbia gets the first commercial Ka'ana CM7 — a Canadian deep-water standing wave positioning itself as an EpicSurf alternative.

The Ka'ana Wave Co. CM7 — a Canadian-developed deep-water standing wave — went live in commercial testing at East Point Reef Club on Vancouver Island last week. It's the first CM7 in paid operation and the second deep-water standing wave category to reach market after EpicSurf.

How CM7 differs from EpicSurf

  • ~Slightly wider wave face — designed for two surfers to cross-step past each other on the same wave.
  • ~Modular water column: three depth settings, from beginner to competition.
  • ~Lower peak wattage draw than EpicSurf — a selling point for cold-climate operators.
  • ~Ka'ana quotes 10× the daily throughput of a traveling-wave pool of comparable footprint.
