The technology
Skudin Surf American Dream runs on PerfectSwell (American Wave Machines), a pneumatic system from Solana Beach. Rows of pneumatic (air-pressure) chambers along the pool wall displace water on command. Firing patterns are fully programmable, vacuum draws water down, then pressure releases it as a swell. Because chambers can be fired in any combination, PerfectSwell can generate peaky A-frames, hollow tubes, and steep launch pads inside a single session.
Skudin Surf American Dream brings surfing indoors at the American Dream retail and entertainment complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, about 30 minutes from Manhattan. Run by the Skudin family, Long Island surf royalty with decades of surf school history, it is the world's largest indoor wave pool, powered by PerfectSwell pneumatic technology.
