After a week of thorough preparation, CalWave Power Technologies completed a successfully week of 1/20th model testing at the MASK basin. Our team was impressed with the Carderock facility and the knowledge and experience of the staff and Prize committee, we had the privilege of working with. It was exciting to observe our prototype in the various Prize specified wave conditions, especially the realistic wave cases and want to thank the facility for the high quality photo and video documentation during this hectic week of testing.

We are currently in the process of reviewing preliminary data from testing as we plan our next steps with industry partners and are excited to analyze the complete data set when it becomes available. At the same time, we started to reflect on everything we were able to accomplish and all of the hard work from numerous individuals that made it possible in the given time frame of the prize. As we await the final results of the Prize, we would like to wish all other teams the best of luck!
