GAST Clearwater, a US-based next-generation water treatment company, artificial beach and property developer, announced today that they would be presenting a 10-year guaranteed waterproofing solution and methodology for Surf Pools & Lagoons at the Surf Park Summit to be held in San Diego, California next week. Dr. Gast, the principal engineer of GAST Clearwater, will be presenting this paper on Monday, Oct. 17, 15:45 local time during the Surf Pak Summit explaining their waterproofing solution and methodologies.

The industry has been plagued for many years with numerous projects faced with failing or deteriorating waterproofing solutions, compounds, or products that perish under wave-generating velocities, costing developers and operators millions. Not only do current technologies and methodologies limit design, application, and guest experiences, but they also come at a high financial cost, both CAPEX and OPEX.

GAST Clearwater also announced that its waterproofing would be backed by a 10-year guarantee, ensuring a watertight solution for the lifetime of the surf pool/lagoon. GAST Clearwater's parent GAST Global is one of the world's oldest and largest waterproofing companies, with over 13 000 successful projects globally. "As GAST Clearwater expands globally as the No. 1 artificial beach / urban lagoon developer, we are delighted to provide a much-needed waterproofing solution to a longstanding problem within the surf pool industry, coupled with our A.L.T.E.P. water treatment solution enabling developers to use sewerage water, we can now offer a turnkey single point responsibility solution to developers and wave generating companies, backed by full warranties & guarantees," said Mr. Kevin Gast, Co-Founder & CEO of GAST Clearwater.

Earlier this month, its co-founder and CEO Kevin Gast participated in the panel discussion about the Future of Water at the Goldman Sachs annual Water Symposium hosted in New York.

Mr. Gast spoke in depth during the symposium about GAST Clearwater's groundbreaking A.L.T.E.P. (Advanced Low Tension Electroporation Process) System that has been dubbed the "Tesla" of water treatment due to its capabilities of treating a wide variety of "dirty waters" with no chemicals, no biologicals, no membranes, and a very high throughput that also destroys PFAS. GAST Clearwater's A.L.T.E.P. system represents an evolutionary leap in the water treatment space that is set to revolutionize and disrupt various markets as a result of its low cost, low maintenance, sustainability, and eco-friendliness that provides an unparalleled tool for the Surf Park industry & Artificial Beach industry.

Made Plus Debuts The SKIFF

The SKIFF is a tribute to Annapolis' rich boating history. Ethically engineered, forward-thinking fashion made with purpose.

Made Plus, a pioneering footwear brand founded by industry veterans Trey Hentz, Kevin Fisher, and Alan Guyan, officially sets sail today. Headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, at 190 Admiral Cochrane Dr. STE 170, Made Plus marks a new era of personalized “planet-positive” footwear proudly made in the United States. With Made Plus, every step matters, which is why the brand has reduced a complex manufacturing process from 300 steps to less than 50 – significantly eliminating negative outputs on the environment. 

Having collectively contributed their designs to industry-disrupting products for athletic footwear giants such as Under Armour, Nike, and Sketchers, the trio of Guyan, Fisher, and Hentz now embark on an extraordinary journey to redefine the traditionally tedious, outdated, and wasteful shoe manufacturing process. What started in a garage in Annapolis is now a micro-factory where the team passionately advocates for a sustainable future and a reimagined approach to crafting “made-to-order” footwear.

Local production and a relentless focus on an environmentally conscious lifestyle fall at the heart of Made Plus' identity, positioning the brand as a trailblazer in the footwear landscape. “Our core mission revolves around reducing our carbon footprint, minimizing waste, and championing ethically viable practices. Every step matters, from sourcing components to the production process to the elevated performance our customers experience,” said Alan Guyan, Founder and CEO of Made Plus. “We are also focused on maintaining a local-first approach, crafting products for locals by locals, fostering a strong sense of community and connection right here in Annapolis.” 

Unlike conventional shoe manufacturing, Made Plus employs a revolutionary made-to-order business model, significantly reducing waste while providing a design-thinking customization experience. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including 3D printing, knitting, and digital modeling, Made Plus offers personalized footwear tailored to each individual's needs – a shoe made just for you.

Guyan expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "We are thrilled to have the freedom to focus on our mission while doing what we love best - designing and innovating in a way that raises the bar for the footwear industry while delivering customized, elevated experiences for our customers."

The debut offering from Made Plus is the "SKIFF" lifestyle shoe, a loving tribute to Annapolis' rich boating history, specifically inspired by the small boat that shares its name. Showcasing ethically engineered performance UPKNT technology, each pair is upcycled from six plastic water bottles, free of excess foams and linings, and incorporates Azo-free dyes and upcycled components such as laces, webbing, and support structures. “The 'SKIFF' encapsulates our dedication to crafting contemporary, high-quality footwear from recycled materials, embodying our vision of forward-thinking fashion made with purpose,” added Guyan.
