The science of performance dock floats and pontoon logs and tubes is constantly evolving. The goal is to produce more rugged products with better floatation value and superior hydrodynamic qualities.
There’s a complete lineup of such products from New Wave Docks, a B.C. company from 100 Mile House that roto molds its own floats using its own unique designs.
Company President Mike McNeil says: “We rotationally mold a seamless polyethylene float, with a consistent wall thickness of 5/16″ to ensure strength and durability against punctures and splits.”As the photos illustrate, the New Wave 450 has a hydrodynamic profile that increases its floatation capability as it sinks lower in water because the float widens at the top. The sculpted lines, with the addition of nose cones, means the floats yield cool party barges and pontoon boats as well. They are also crafted with molded-in bolt receptables for skid plates so they can be run up on beaches without damaging the floats themselves.

New Wave floats, coupled with nose cones, and connected with aluminum, or wood, framing produces quality, affordable party barges and pontoon boats.
All floats have 1 1/2″ drain plug for pump out or ballast (useful to provide refloatation under sagging docks or boat houses), 3/8″ T-nuts for attachment of bottom skid plates, and 4″ flanges to ensure proper attachment to framing are placed for maximum application
The New Wave Model #450 float is also affordable at $199, and $95 for a nose cone. Line up five of them end-to-end and you get more than a ton of floatation.
Notably, they are much more durable than competitors on the market (thicker walls); the contoured shape adds a lot of strength. Plus, the top flanges make for easy, secure fastening using standard wood or aluminum dimensions.
