Located 1.5 hours from Mundaka and Hossegor, and 10 minutes from the Basque coastline, Wavegarden's headquarters is home to the industry's first surf park dedicated to the development of artificial wave technologies and high-performance surfing. As a private facility, the Wavegarden Lab functions as Wavegarden's R&D center, continuously advancing wave-making technologies and other surf park innovations that are later implemented in commercial installations. The focus is on high-performance surfing, with the lagoon welcoming surfers of all skill levels to test the waves and refine both the technology and the surfing experience.

| High performance center: | The Wavegarden Lab’s location offers the perfect combination of the best artificial waves and the natural waves of the Cantabrian coast. When combined with the right cadence and intensity, this fusion can accelerate and consolidate the technical progression of competitive surfers. The Wavegarden Lab provides maximum flexibility for training, enabling surfers to ride waves of varying sizes and types (Airs, Barrels, and Turns) Additionally, the proximity of a coach for real-time advice, paired with innovative training tools like the automatic recording system CheckMySurf and its replay screen located at the wave’s take-off point, enhances the overall training experience. |
| Continuously evolving facility | The continuous technological improvements guarantee the most varied wave menu currently available for a surf pool. |
| Innovation center | Millions of wave cycles allow us to test the wave generator and modifications of the bathymetry a fundamental element of our technology. Any possible new variants of the civil works, and new water treatment systems or bottom cleaning robots are analyzed and tested. |
