From that same site, look in the background. Do you see a yellow WIG? I think the red thing is just a raft (for people to retrieve models), not a hovercraft.

In the Basin, directional irregular water waves can be generated with a multi-element wave maker. These waves are similar to actual ocean waves.

I think there is one of these in Oregon to see how big wave from an offshore eartquake will hit the west coast.

Neat video. Some of those rolls look to be 30-35 degrees. Lots of cleaning up afterward!

FYI: Japanese Video

I could only get the small versions of the Quick-Time videos to work on my computer. Still worth watch even at such a small size.
