With the largest number of surfing facilities in operation, Wavegarden is the unrivaled leader in the fast growing surf park sector.
Currently, there are 6 surf parks operating across 4 continents: Praia da Grama in Brazil, Alaia Bay in Switzerland, Wavepark in South Korea, Urbnsurf in Australia, and The Wave Bristol and Surf Snowdonia in the United Kingdom.
And, the future looks outstanding, with several more projects under construction and 46 others signed and in various stages of the design and permitting, across 5 continents.
Each project is unique, having been customized to harness the potential of the site while matching the investor’s vision. On top of world-class waves, all facilities offer exceptional customer amenities including modern restaurants, fashionable surf retail, professional surf tuition, and idyllic spectator and relaxation areas.
The success of Wavegarden is founded on a range of key variables:
1. Our patented state-of-the-art technologies that deliver the maximum number of high quality waves – up to 1000 per hour.
2. The most diverse wave menu on the market – with almost 20 different waves to cater for all ability levels, from beginners through to world champs.
3. The highest surfer capacity – with up to 90 surfers in the water simultaneously, each catching 10-12 waves per session.
4. The most energy efficient and environmentally sustainable technology available on the market – consuming less than 1Kwh per wave around 1.95m high, which is 10 x less than other systems.
5. A one-stop shop approach to the entire surf park – from fluid dynamics, master planning & design, civil works, water treatment, operations, and after sales support.
We have developed the most commercially viable technology available and now, with the same pioneering spirit, we have set our sights on creating the first ever self-sufficient, CO2 neutral surf park in the world. This is possible because Wavegarden´s patented system uses electric motors to move mechanical parts and to optimize efficiency, the motors recover part of the energy to minimize consumption.
The energy consumption of the Wavegarden technology is so low that plans are being developed to deliver carbon neutral systems by using photovoltaic panels on the surf park buildings. Presently, the facilities in Brazil, Switzerland, UK, Australia, and our headquarters in Spain, are 100% powered by renewable energy sources.
Wavegarden boasts proven and international experience and, with 66 full time employees, has become the largest and most advanced specialist surf park provider in the world.
The company has an extremely high growth potential in this emerging sector, currently counting 46 projects in development. It boasts proven and successful international experience and has the highest number of surfing facilities open to the public across the world.
