MWDG'S PATENTED WAVESHAPER TECHNOLOGY WAS DEVELOPED TO DEAL WITH ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGES WHEN DESINING A RIVER WAVEPARK, CONSISTANCY. BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF WATER FLOWING IN A RIVER FLUCATES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS IT IS EXTREMLY DIFFICULT TO CREATE A WAVE THAT IS BOTH IDEAL FOR SURFING AND SAFE AT ALL THE VARIOUS RIVER LEVELS, THE DIFFERENCE OF A FEW HUNDRED CFS CAN TURN A POWERFUL PERFECT WAVE TO A MUSHY GUTLESS WAVE OR WORSE INTO A DEADLY HYDRAULIC. RIVERS DO NOT FUNCTION THE SAME AS OCEANS, THE RIVER MAY GROW LARGER AND MORE POWERFUL WHILE THE WAVE DISAPEARS OR THE RIVER LEVEL MAY DROP AND BECOME LESS POWERFUL BUT THE RIVER WAVE BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED, POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS. IN THE PAST WAVEPARKS WERE DESIGNED WITH STATIC BOTTOM CONTOURS AND THIS MEANT THE WATER FLOW DICTATED 100% WHAT THE WAVE WOULD BE LIKE AT VARIOUS FLOWS. THIS MEANT MANY PARKS HAD DECENT SURF FOR ONLY A FRACTION OF THE YEAR, USUALLY AT HIGHER FLOWS. AT MWDG WE NEW BOISE WOULD BE THE LITMUS TEST FOR TWO CRUCIAL POINTS THAT WOULD DEFINE RIVER RECREATION. 1. EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF QUALITY WAVES COULD WE GET AND FOR HOW LONG THOUGHOUT THE YEAR? 2. IF WE ACHIVED WHAT WE WERE AIMING FOR HOW QUICKLY WOULD A RIVER SURFING COMMUNITY FORM AND HOW BIG WOULD IT GET? THE WAVESHAPER HAS CREATED VERY FUN TO EPIC SURF ALL YEAR ROUND. BECAUSE OF THIS BOISE NOW HAS THE MOST RAPIDLY GROWING RIVER SURFING COMMUNITY IN THE WORLD. NOW DAYS WALKING ALONG THE RIVER ONE MIGHT THINK THEY WERE STROLLING THROUGH A BEACH TOWN IN HAWAII NOT A CITY FORMALLY KNOW FOR "IDAHO SPUDS".
