Disclosed embodiments include an articulated plow that displaces water within a pool to create water wave energy. The articulated plow may include blades that are vertically engaged and coplanar during a wave energy stroke, thereby forcing water in front of the plow to be displaced. During the wave energy stroke, the static water plane behind the plow may be maintained at a predetermined elevation thereby promoting equilibrium in hydrostatic pressure in front of and behind the plow, resulting in less force required during the plow reciprocation. During a reset stroke, the blades may rotate through their respective centroidal axis simultaneously to a horizontal attitude, thereby gliding through the static water without creating turbulence. Disclosed embodiments may be used to create a nature-like board surfing experience when combined with a downstream reef option and a downstream inclined pool floor.
