About Wave Chaser Pty Ltd

Wave Chaser Founder & Director Nigel McBride, collaborates with a diverse group of marine industry professionals to develop a unique range of surf, paddle & sail watercraft.

In 2012; I became seriously interested in beach catamarans, with a view that owning one would provide plenty of enjoyable moments out on the water with family and friends. For some reason, I began to envisage what it might be like to sail a windsurfer-catamaran with twin rigs, one on each hull. I researched the concept and learned about the performance advantages of twin rig and planning hull catamarans, mostly on larger racing and cruising catamarans.

I then decided to undertake the precarious challenge of designing and building a windsurfer-catamaran. Thankfully, a diverse group of qualified industry professionals were willing to provide crucial R&D support, particularly renowned surfboard shaper Sam Tehan, who’s been an amazing co-designer from the beginning.

“We've created a totally unique watercraft…the Wave Chaser Hydraero Twin Rig SUP Catamaran is a planing hull, catamaran with paddleboard & windsurfer features. This craft is designed to maintain stability at speed and is built to handle extreme wind loading and wave slam.” Waver Chaser Founder & Managing Director – Nigel McBride
