PerfectSwell's Next-Gen Air Ramp Rolls Out

American Wave Machines pushes a firmware update that reshapes the air section — steeper, more vertical, and now available at Waco, Palm Springs BSR, and the pipeline sites.

American Wave Machines pushed a firmware update to every operating PerfectSwell pool this month — no hardware change, just a re-scripted caisson firing sequence. The result: a steeper, more vertical air section that adds roughly 20% of vertical rotation potential.

Where the update is live

  • ~Waco Surf — rolled out in March, in time for Stab High.
  • ~BSR Cable Park (Waco) — same firmware, different pool tuning.
  • ~Every future PerfectSwell install ships with the new sequence pre-loaded.
