Dreamwave Holding GmbH

Dreamwave Holding GmbH, operating as Dreamwave International, is a German engineering company founded in 2005 by Professor Markus Aufleger and former General Manager of Billabong Germany, Ulrich Hautzel. The company specializes in the design and construction of standing surf waves in rivers, using patented hydrodynamic technology that harnesses the natural flow of water without the need for energy-intensive pumps. Their modular Dreamwave system adapts to varying discharge and water levels, allowing for adjustable wave shapes that can be controlled manually or remotely. Dreamwave collaborates closely with the University of Innsbruck on physical and numerical experiments to optimize wave design. The company offers a full range of services from feasibility studies to the opening of new river wave spots, working with communities and local authorities. Two successfully opened spots in Germany utilize Dreamwave technology. In addition to wave construction, Dreamwave provides further engineering services in water construction and hydromechanics through its DreamIng division. The company emphasizes sustainability, with minimal energy consumption and consideration for ecological improvements such as fish ascents.

Dreamwave was founded in 2005 by Professor Markus Aufleger and Ulrich Hautzel, the former General Manager of Billabong Germany. The intention was to create high-performance standing surf waves. In close partnership with the Technical University of Innsbruck, the company identified the decisive parameters for a surf wave and specialized in the development of surf spots. Over the years, Dreamwave has developed a patented modular system that adapts to different discharge situations and water levels typical of natural waterbodies. The system allows for manual or remote control, enabling the wave to be shaped to individual preferences. Two successfully opened spots in Germany use Dreamwave technique. The company has also expanded its portfolio to include further engineering services in water construction and hydromechanics through its DreamIng division. Dreamwave continues to work with communities and local authorities to develop new river wave spots, emphasizing sustainability and ecological improvements.
