The wave system can be adjusted to suit the surfers in the water: if only advanced riders are out, the waves can be set a notch higher.<br \/>But there\u2019s more.

Every design choice was made with energy efficiency in mind \u2014 for example, the pool water is filtered with micro screens, which consume far less energy than traditional sand filters.<br \/>In the surf bar, we minimize the use of plastic and disposable packaging.    <\/article>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"title \" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"title\">\n<h2>Born from Passion<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"text\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"text\">\n<article>\n<div class=\"\">RiF010 is the first urban wave pool in the world \u2014 a place where you can surf right in the middle of the city.<br \/>It was conceived in 2013 by Edwin van Viegen, driven by his lifelong passion for surfing and his dream to make the sport accessible to every schoolchild in Rotterdam.<br \/>RiF010 embodies that dream \u2014 a wave of innovation, community, and sustainable adventure, flowing through the heart of Rotterdam.   <\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10104,"menu_order":9,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-10995","merkpartner","type-merkpartner","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
