Protecting boaters from
the shock of wave impact
Shockwave is a Canadian company with a global presence, originally founded in 1965. We design and manufacture marine suspension seats for professional and recreational markets. We are committed to continual improvement, rigorous testing, safety standards and innovative shock module design that protects boaters from the shock of wave impact.
Shockwave started in 2001 with the US Coast Guard as its first customer. Shockwave began designing and building marine suspension seats for militaries around the world and our business evolved into providing seats for commercial applications. In 2016 Shockwave launched its first suspension solution for recreational boaters, the S5 suspension base. In 2021 it launched the S5 Sentinel suspension base, an improved version of the S5 suspension base. The Shockwave brand is known around the world for high performance, strength, and superior suspension products.
