RapidBlocs is an system that is designed to be evolved and taken forward by whitewater stadium operators, coaches and of course paddlers. RapidBlocs will continue to develop whatever the market demands and will always listen to feedback on how to make this highly versatile system progress whitewater creation still further.
Half Bloc
A half Bloc has been developed to provide further flexibility and integrate with RapidBlocs groyne system.
Wave Former
A triangular wave former is being developed that allows subtle changes to wave and hole formation. The inclusion of the triangular insert on the upstream side of an obstruction smooths out flows and encourages the formation of glassy waves.

The wave formers can also be mounted on RapidBlocs or run together to form a longer ramp.
The wave formers on the downstream of bed features can subtly change a hole feature and provide specific weak points. These may complete the idea slalom move or tweak a hole to freestyle perfection.
