Abstract

An apparatus for converting energy from waves in a body of water, the apparatus comprising a longitudinal axis that allows bending, which longitudinal axis in use extends substantially vertically; a plurality of segments divided over the longitudinal axis, said segments being coupled to each other by break points; the apparatus wherein each of said segments is shaped in such a way that it presents a surface in every direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and wherein the break points allow bending in all directions and inhibit rotation around the longitudinal axis.
