RotoMolding and Foam-Filled Floats make Wave Armor Docks Stronger, more Stable

As durable as they are distinctive, Wave Armor® docks are built with RotoMolded polyethylene and foam-filled floats, providing marina and waterfront homeowners the ultimate in style, strength, and stability.

While most floating docks are merely functional, Wave Armor docks feature attractive flagstone paver-style textured finishes. But Wave Armor docks are as rugged as they are refined.

Each of Wave Armor’s modular dock sections comprises two separately RotoMolded components – the stylish top-side deck and a float below filled with rigid, closed-cell foam. Lesser dock systems take their chances with air-filled floats. 

“Other docks, if their floats get punctured, they fill with water, and you’re sunk,” Rick Johanneck, owner/inventor of the Wave Armor floating-dock system explains. “With Wave Armor, it’s no big deal – the float can still do its job 100 percent as good as it did before.”

RotoMolding – unlike inferior plastic processes like thermoforming and blow-molding – produces a much more durable dock with seamless parts and uniform wall thickness.  “Our process distributes more material in the corners to absorb shocks and stresses where they occur most,” Johanneck explains. “Since the material isn’t stressed during production – like it is in thermoforming or pressure-forming – the finished product is stronger and more reliable.”

In all but the harshest of northern waterfront environments, a Wave Armor dock is durable enough to be left in year-round. “One of the biggest bonuses is leaving it in over the winter,” Johanneck says. “In most situations, you don’t have to take it out.”

After ice-up, simply remove your Wave Armor dock’s mooring pipes and tie your entire assembly to a stout tree or structure with a sturdy rope. Come spring, simply re-install your poles.

“Some homeowners spend $1,200 to $1,800 in the spring putting their dock in, and then the same taking it out in the fall,” Johanneck says. “Within a few seasons, Wave Armor really pays for itself.”

The brand of choice for waterfront homeowners and marinas alike, Wave Armor offers a wide range of modular dock sections that can be assembled into an infinite number of layouts and configurations to custom-fit any environment. Dock sections connect securely via a patented, hassle-free H-Beam system that allows for easy expansion with handsome accessories, including Wave Port personal-watercraft ports, boat bumpers, dock ramps, benches and more. Built-in UV protection ensures Wave Armor products will last for years without fading in the sun.

Dave Meyer – Director of Sales & Marketing

I grew up in a small lake community in Southeastern Wisconsin and have been an avid water enthusiast all my life. I enjoy spending time with my family at our cabin in central Minnesota, hunting beast and bird, and playing increasingly less competitive volleyball as I grow older.  I have spent my career in retail as a merchant, salesman, marketer, and product development extraordinaire.

Steve Schneider – Territory Manager (North East US)

I grew up in Cold Spring, MN and my wife Lisa and I have been blessed with three wonderful boys.  I enjoy the changing seasons and all the fresh water lakes that Minnesota has to offer, which makes for great fishing, hunting, boating and golfing. I have spent 20 years of my career with the IOS brands and the last 15 year as Sales Manager for Wave Armor.

Mike Jacobsen – Territory Manager (Midwest US)

I have lived most of my life in the Willmar, Minnesota area with my wife, Kristin and children, Ali and Ben.  I enjoy restoring and showing collector cars.  I also enjoy exploring the outdoors on my RZR, fishing and hunting. I have worked in outside sales in the power transmission industry and also in purchasing for the steel industry. I am excited to work with Wave Armor to develop new dealers and increase brand recognition in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and parts of Iowa and Illinois.

Kari Tatge – Sales & Marketing Specialist

A Grand Rapids, MN native, I spent much of my childhood swimming and tubing on Pokegama Lake (I never did master water skiing).  I enjoy 4-wheeling, hanging out at the lake, watching football and NASCAR and spending as much time as I can with my two grandsons! The majority of my career has been spent in sales & marketing and I have learned the importance of educating customers so they can make a well-informed purchasing decision.

Marcus Manser – Account Manager

Being born and raised in Minnesota, as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for the outdoors.  At a very young age, I chose snowmobiling, ATVing, fishing, and hunting over indoor activities.  With family and friends deeply entrenched in the marine industry I was exposed to and participated in many fishing tournaments and marine industry events growing up.  I wanted to learn all I could about the marine industry from a dealership perspective, so I took a position with a Midwest Marine Dealer.  It was great, I absolutely loved the ability to work with customers who shared my passions.  My background allowed me to assist others, fueling their passion for boating and fishing and look forward to continuing that with Wave Armor.

LUXURY WATERFRONT LIVING AT ITS FINEST

What connects your palace and your passion? For many living the waterfront life, the answer has long been a short walk down a drab dock that doesn’t reflect themselves or their interests. Welcome another way with Wave Armor, an elegant link between your home on the water and your water hobbies.

Wave Armor floating docks, ports and accessories transcend durability and dependability with a stylish design that sets a new standard for lakeside living. While most floating-dock systems are merely functional and utilitarian, all Wave Armor docks and ports feature an attractive flagstone paver-style textured finish. Making life on the water easier has never looked so good!

A Wave Armor dock is more than just a place to park your boat – it’s an extension of your lifestyle. Imagine, instead of unsightly aluminum poles, rusty steel cables and splinter-ridden, rotting wood, being greeted at the water’s edge with what’s essentially a patio on the lake, where you can lounge comfortably and entertain friends in style – in addition to launching your watercrafts.

“It’s an outside living experience on the water,” says Wave Armor owner and inventor Rick Johanneck. “People who live on the water have worked hard to get there. Where they relax and play should be as enjoyable a space as possible. So we wanted to create the nicest-looking docks on the market – period. And we’ve done that. When you compare our docks to others on the market, there’s really no comparison. While other docks basically do the same thing, Wave Armor docks portray the ultimate in durability and distinctive design.”

The brand of choice for waterfront home owners and marinas alike, Wave Armor proudly offers products that are not only supremely functional but also pleasingly fashionable, designed to enhance the precious time you spend on or around the water.

Both rugged and refined, Wave Armor’s floating dock sections feature a rigid, closed-cell-foam-filled interior and bottom-suctioning pockets that keep your dock where it is supposed to be – flat on the water. Constructed of Roto-Molded durable polyethylene with built-in UV protection, your Wave Armor dock will last for years to come, without fading in the sun.

All of Wave Armor’s modular docks utilize a patented, hassle-free H-Beam Channel system to secure connections underneath their decks for a more dynamic and clean-flowing topside surface. This system allows for easy expansion with handsome accessories and Wave Port personal-watercraft & boat ports, benches, kayak racks, dock ramps, post covers and solar dock lights and more. Molded-in fastener attachments, spaced around perimeter, add tie-down cleats where you need them.

“Each Wave Armor accessory will incorporate beautifully into the design of your custom dock layout, giving the overall dock system a fully integrated finished look and feel,” Johanneck says.

FLOATING DOCK BENEFITS

If your home or cabin is located on a river, lake or pond – it is likely that your Spring and Fall cleanup lists include a number of tasks associated with your standard fixed dock system. The list is sure to include replacing worn out dock boards, replacing and removing screws and nails, inspecting and replacing rub rails and the one task everyone could do without…staining.

What is a PWC Port?

Simply put, a PWC Port is a dry dock solution for Personal Watercrafts. A user can, with ease, push-off and drive-on to a PWC port with little to no effort. At Wave Armor, we offer a variety of PWC Ports, and we even offer Boat Ports.

Each Wave Armor PWC Port is designed to integrate with our Wave Dock Floating Dock System and can also stand alone, connect together or to other standard and floating dock brands and structures. PWC Ports are available in a variety of widths to meet the specific needs of both waterfront homeowners and marinas.

As with all of our Wave Docks, and Boat Ports, the Wave Armor PWC Port is crafted from beautifully Roto-Molded Durable Polyethylene Construction and offers built-in UV-Protection. Our PWC Ports are foam filled to provide extra buoyancy and structural integrity, and consist of two integrated side pontoons. Securing your Personal Watercraft to our ports is simple with removable bow straps and tie-down rings.  Your Personal Watercraft’s hull stays protected with our built-in, adjustable, Polyurethane wheels. These Polyurethane wheels allow a user to simply drive on to dry dock, or push-off to enjoy the water.

As with most of our products, our PWC Ports can stand alone, or be integrated into our Wave Dock Systems.

Regardless of if you own a Wave Armor dock, a competitor’s floating dock, or a standard fixed dock – we have accessories available to help you accessorize and increase the functionality of your dock.
