Artificial Wave for ocean-type surfing Vertigo Sports | Vertigo - innovative technology for creating artificial waves for surfing. The first artificial wave in Russia where the athlete does not stand still on the water flow, but moves forward with the wave exactly as in the ocean. Artificial Wave of our production is developed and manufactured in Rostov Oblast. There are 3 invention patents.

Artificial waves open revolutionary opportunities for the development of surfing in Russia, as well as in countries without access to the ocean. This is a key technology for creating a regular training process for athletes. It allows training regardless of weather and the presence of ocean waves. This is an excellent way to learn surfing from scratch for beginners, practice new tricks and maneuvers for professionals, and simply get unforgettable emotions.
