The device is a wave generation system for bodies of water such as pools. At the deep end of the pool there is a set of air tight caissons. These caissons have an open bottom and allow the water of the pool to flow within. Pressurized air from a high pressure blower is introduced into these caissons via a duct. The duct, which passes through the caissons, is perforated on its top to allow the pressurized air from the blower to distribute itself evenly over the surface of the water. The air fills the caisson forcing the water out the open bottom of the caisson and into the pool causing the wave. These waves can be used as in a normal wave pool or used to power a river type ride.
