Claim:
1. A method of generating waves comprising: providing a wave pool having a plurality of wave generators adapted to produce wave segments wherein each wave generator has a pair of dividing walls extending substantially forward in front of said wave generator, wherein said wave generators are extended in a staggered manner relative to a travel direction of the wave segments, and are positioned along a curved stagger line relative to the travel direction of the wave segments; intermittently generating said wave segments in sequence with each of said wave generators, wherein each of said wave segments travels forward through the pair of dividing walls associated with each wave generator, wherein each pair of dividing walls is adapted to have a fade angle of no more than 20 degrees to help maintain the energy, height and amplitude of the wave segments travelling forward, and wherein within each pair, a second dividing wall is extended further downstream than a first dividing wall; and causing the wave segments to merge together as they travel forward beyond said dividing walls, to form a single resultant wave that extends substantially along an arcuate path across said wave pool.
