A meaningful project
Our non-profit association is called Whitewater Pulse. It is made of citizens whose passion is whitewaters. They are all ages, come from various backgrounds and from 14 countries. They live in continental areas for 48 percent of them and in coastal areas for the rest of them.
We are convinced that the XXIst century water parks do not only have to be places dedicated to leisure and training practises but also have to heighten public awareness and lead to the emergence of a collective reflexion regarding the vital issues that will impact our environment.
What do we intend to do ?
Our intention is to build a water park of a new kind, made of sustainable materials.
Because the preservation of environment is part of WWP's essential concerns, the building of WWP infrastructures will not require any deforestation nor any use of ground water. Besides, the quantity of water necessary to make the structures function will be reduced as much as possible; water will be filtered and treated thanks to an innovative bio technology.As WWP intends to couple the surfing pool pumping station with the canyoning spot one in order to diminish the quantity of needed water, it will be necessary to go on studying that system in the slightest details so as to be able to choose the technology that will be best-fitted to make significant energy savings. Thus, two types of wave pools are under study : the first one has been developped by Wavegarden and the second one by the Kelly Slater Wave Company. The WWP team went to Wales a few months ago to study and test the first wave. As for the second one, the team is studying the technology and intends to go and test it in a couple of months.
Who are we?
Sabrina Colsenet is the president of the association and the project builder, She has gathered a team of nine persons whose strong points are their multiple skills, their experience, their fluency in at least three langages and above all their passion !
What's the money for?
" Putting one small pebble upon the other is the best way to build a mountain " , Confucius.
That is exactly the spirit of crowdfunding and we'd like you to share it with us ! Let's first gather all around that project and bring it our support and then be assured that public authorities, private entreprises and patrons will follow the movement and be part of the adventure !We have to raise funds in order to get a part of the missing equity provision that is required to reassure the bankers. Raising that equity contribution is essential for us to :
* get a loan dedicated to Innovation that will enable us to work in collaboration with an engineering agency and an architect. Thus, they will be able to draw the water park installations.
* help to the 3D prototyping of the canyoning spot.
We have already taken contact with reliable engineering groups that are capable of running the project which is intended to enter the European Horizon 2020 program.
As far as architecture is concerned, we would like to work with the French architect Jacques Rougerie who has been presented the project. Here is what he has said about it :
" A beautiful initiative; it deals with issues that I cherish and it undoubtedly corresponds to a need in our society; I encourage you to go on ".* pay for the fees that are required to enter competitivity centers in order to start conceiving and prototyping the first bio-sourced surf board that will be produced thanks to additive technology; indeed, we can't imagine anyone surfing inside a sustainable water park on boards that would not be sustainable too !
* work with a web agency to create a web page dedicated to the association and its project, aimed at giving it more visibility in order to raise interest from the part of potential partners, financers and supporters.
These are the steps that are really important for us :
So ? Are you going on board with us ?
Chers contributeurs, depuis deux mois, les membres de l'équipe associative Whitewater Pulse et moi avons donné le meilleur de nous-mêmes, ne comptant ni temps, ni énergie pour mettre en œuvre toutes sortes d'actions de soutien au projet aux côtés des médias lorrains qui les ont largement relayées. Nous n'avons pas réussi à atteindre notre objectif de collecte.
Néanmoins, nous souhaitons vous remercier très chaleureusement pour votre soutien et votre contribution ( qui va vous être intégralement remboursée par virement ou vous sera restituée par la poste s'il s'agit d'un chèque ).
L'échec de cette collecte ne veut cependant pas dire échec du projet. L'année 2017 démarre d'ailleurs sur les chapeaux de roue pour notre association :
* participation samedi 14/01/17 au forum de La France S'Engage à Paris sur invitation du Ministère de la Ville, de la Jeunesse et des Sports
* enregistrement du projet sur le European Investment Portal en Février à la recherche de mécènes européens
* entretiens prévus en Avril avec les représentants de deux ambassades étrangères à Paris pour enregistrement du projet dans deux réseaux de mécénat
Vous pourrez continuer de suivre toutes les news sur l'avancée du projet sur notre page Facebook www.facebook.com/White-Water-Pulse-LE-Water-Park
Bien à vous, chers contributeurs et encore une fois...un immense MERCI !!!

INCENTIVES
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!
You are part of the wide community of people supporting a project dealing with whitewaters.
THANK YOU and THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN !!!
To show our gratefulness, your name will be written on our Facebook channel; you will also receive a sticker...just because we want to thank YOU for helping us.
TAKE OFF !!
To show our gratefulness, your name will be written on our Facebook channel; you will also receive a sticker and a ball pen that we intend you to use with much pride.
KEEP SLIDING !!!
You enjoy sliding but you also care about environment; you will help us build a water park made of sustainable materials that respects the XXIst century low-carbon economy requirements. The T-shirt and the sticker will be necessary then !
JUMP !!!!!!
To show our gratefulness, not only will your name be written on social networks to thank you but you will also be offered the WWP backpack in which you will find our sticker. Besides, you will become an honorary member of the WWP Association.
Dive with the Sea Horse !
You are also convinced that one can practise whitewater activities both on artificial spots and on natural ones because they can complete each other. You will help us build an innovative sustainable indoor canyoning spot for leisure and training. A brilliant idea, isn't it ? So it will make your spirit shine just as the stainless steel sea horse that our young voluntary steel worker will make for you. It will take him about one month to make it for each one is a unique creation.
Jump without Glesine !
You think that the XXIst century artificial water parks can be places where one can weave friendly links with people who practise on natural spots thanks to innovative programs. You will share memorable moments with our exclusive experienced canyoning guide. He will take you for a canyoning trip in the most beautiful canyons of the Pyrenées area. He wlll teach you how you can practise in a responsible manner in order to preserve environment.
Say hello to the Merriens
You think that one can build friendly links between people living in continental areas and those living in coastal ones by sharing recreational or training experiences. You would like the experiences that WWP will make them live to be told. So you will be sent an invitation card by the Merriens, those Irish legendary creatures living in abysses. You will have one dinner on earth and another one on water with some members of the WWP team and a woman writer. Together, we will speak about the writing of a short comic strip that will tell the story of the WWP practioners' adventures. Like the Merriens and a well-known captain, don't forget to wear a red hat for dinner !
Let's go fishing without Poseidon !
You think that the XXIst century water parks do not only have to offer responsible practises but also have to weave links between people practising on artificial spots and those practising on natural ones in order to encourage them to think about their future practises and lives on the planet together. On August 15th 2017, you will come and talk about it with the project runner, siiting on the Stone of Inspiration next to the ruins of the Saint-Pol Roux Castle in Camaret-sur-Mer. You will meditate there for a while before leaving for a fishing afternoon on the Iroise Sea. Don't worry...you will not fish with a trident but with a Breton fishing rod. You will come home with our T-shirt and become an honorary member of the WWP association.
The Eye of the Octopus
You think that water parks can be non-profit structures. You think they can be places where collaborative practises can lead to taking decisions together in a more transparent way, taking everybody's ideas into account : leaders, employees, service providers, etc...Like the octopus, the champion of adaptability to its environment, you will adapt yourself to yours on that singular day, letting your whole body being painted by our bodypainter partner. He will turn you into the Abyssal Octopus. Then, our photographer partner will take amazing photos of you, standing next to the WWP muse, the Pink Octopus Woman.
