Beaches Resorts Selects SurfStream

TUESDAY, 29 APRIL 2008

American Wave Machines, Inc. (AWM), an innovator in artificial wave technology, announced yesterday that Beaches Resorts has selected the SurfStream standing wave machine for its new waterpark installation at its Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort and Spa.

The SurfStream standing wave attraction will be a major feature of the Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort and Spa's popular Pirate's Island Waterpark, which is being expanded to ten times its initial size. SurfStream is the first and only high capacity standing wave machine that delivers real surfing and wave riding capabilities. With wave adjustability, which translates to operational flexibility for the waterpark, SurfStream gives both novices and seasoned surfers the most sought after surfing experience - the long ride. Because the water moves at natural, gravity-fed speed, it is safe to have several people riding at once, even riding next to each other. This significantly increases throughput, capacity, and fun.

"We're excited to work with Beaches Resorts to create a one-of-a-kind surf experience for their guests," said Bruce McFarland, president of AWM." SurfStream gives people the experience of real surfing, which will give their guests a thrilling attraction and surely keep their visitors coming back."

This new waterpark expansion is part of the resort's comprehensive $125 million development that will include a brand new Italian Village. Scheduled to be completed in Winter of 2008, this new Italian Village will feature 180 luxurious family suites with the finest amenities and services. The brand new Pirates Island waterpark will adorn the property and will measure ten times the size of the original. The themed aqua-playground will include nine water slides, a pool and aqua play area complete with water cannons, cranks and spray features, a splash deck with pop-up jets, and a winding lazy river. Families can choose to unwind in the nearby piazza area or watch the littlest swimmers frolic in the zero-entry pool for tots.

"When we learned that SurfStream provides an experience close to actual ocean surfing, we had to include it in the waterpark expansion at Beaches. Our goal is to offer the most exciting variety of waterpark activities available anywhere," said Adam Stewart, CEO of Beaches Resorts. "SurfStream will give our guests an exciting ride that they will long remember."
