WAVEEATER IN ACTION - FLOATING BREAKWATER VIDEOS

Boating club replaced a log boom that had been sinking over the
years due to water absorption. System is a single line that is
used to dissipate waves and mitigate the effects of the Columbia
River current as it passes the club.
Customer Review: “… your breakwater works exactly as you
said it would and it is a huge improvement over the log boom
that we had. We have 65 members in our boat club, and I have
not heard one complaint.”

Client wanted to test a Wave Eater Grid system to see how it
would handle wakes generated by wakeboarders and surfers. The
size of this wave creates damage to their marina which
currently has no attenuation system. The boat was ballasted
with three thousand lbs to create a three foot wake, which is
what is required for this form of recreation. They ran the
boat in several directions towards and along the Wave Eater
system to see how it would handle a multitude of wakes.
Observation was that 75% +/- was being dissipated as it passed
through the Wave Eater floating attenuator.
Result is that Wave Eater is being consider for both marina
and shore erosion protection on several lakes in the area.
