Experts in Financing, Developing & Operating Surf Parks
Creative solutions, creative results.
Overview
On top of this, people of all ages who are intrigued by surfing, but who have never tried it, or dabbled in it but were unable to master the sport, imagine a wave that rolls in slowly, and is easy to learn to ride. But, there are very few such waves in the world.
All surfers and ocean-goers long for shark-free, warm water conditions!
Yet, there is no ocean location anywhere that can satisfy all these yearnings. Indeed, there is not one ocean-surfing location on earth that offers year-round, perfect waves in optimal conditions.
That’s why Surf Parks - featuring expert, intermediate and beginner waves, which flow perfectly in consistent, pristine conditions- are capturing the attention of surfers and active lifestyle devotees throughout the world!
Surf Parks, located away from the coast, in urban, suburban or rural settings, are also the perfect place for people of all ages to experience a relaxing day at the beach, where they can de-stress, sunbathe and enjoy watching loved ones and friends playing on the beach and enjoying the perfect surf.
A Surf Park, located in the right area, can be a significant tourist destination and a community social center, drawing families and friends to their own beach. The venue will also be a powerful draw for experienced surfing enthusiasts, in the same way a golf club draws its devotees. While it may take 2-3 hours to play even 9 holes of golf, a surfer can get his or her fill in 60 minutes – a session before or after work or even during lunch.

Surfing for many has also come to represent empowerment, a way to try a new and challenging athletic endeavor far removed from normal day to day experience.
For many the feeling is, "master surfing and you have mastered yourself."
Back in the 1960s the Beach Boys sang of "Catch a wave and you are sitting on top of the world." This new perspective that surfing brings to life is as empowering and exciting today as it was so many years ago.
Our team is dedicated to creating these empowering, uplifting and life changing experiences for a broad base of the tourist and local community.
