My happy place is 40 feet out in the Gulf of Mexico, sitting on a sandbar in 80-degree water, watching clouds crawl by. Absolute heaven.

Sandbars are natural and form over time, sometimes visible above water.

Natural Formation

Sandbars can be dangerous for boats as they're shallow and can cause grounding.

Navigational Hazard

Sandbars can change shape or disappear with strong currents and tides.

Temporary Landscape

 We tried all sorts of different geometries. The waves interact with the geometry, and then create turbulence and start to accumulate the sand so the sand starts to form these sandbars on their own. Here's an aerial view. On the left-hand side, you'll see the beach that's growing. In the middle you'll see the sandbar that formed.

A new way to "grow"...

 with whatever decision he makes if I get down there and look at that bar and I think that it's unsafe or he's my better judgment to wait a few hours I'm gonna wait the bar is the transition point from the sound to the ocean it's a sandbar where the water depth can go from deep around it to very shallow

Widowmaker Waves PIPE...

 it's a sandbar plenty of food to go round
