DSRT Surf, a surf resort anchored by a five-and-a-half-acre Wavegarden Cove surf park, celebrated a significant milestone as the construction phase has commenced, with the public opening anticipated in early summer of 2026.
URBNSURF Sydney, the eighth surf park that utilizes Wavegarden's technology, has opened its doors this week. The new facility, now open to the public, features a 46-module Wavegarden Cove as well as two restaurants, a surf academy, leisure pool, skate park, surf store, and wellness center. Australia is now the first country in the world to have two surf parks open to the public.
World champion skateboarder and Olympic medalist Sky Brown recently ventured to Garopaba, Brazil, to surf at one of our newest Wavegarden Cove facilities, Surfland Brasil, which also boasts a world-class skate park designed by legendary skater Pedro Barros.
Among the eight Wavegardens scattered across the globe, Surfland Brasil in Garopaba stands out for its unique architectural design within the realm of surf park development.
URBNSURF Sydney is the 8th Wavegarden project, with each being slightly different from the others. The side walls measure 140m respectively, which is 20m smaller than their Melbourne facility, although it has the same 46 modules of machinery.
Wavegarden sets the record straight on shutdowns and reliability, energy consumption, water use, concrete, and the new air section. So, it is no surprise that the Wavegarden crew get frustrated when they hear and read a diverse variety of misinformation being circulated in the market - stories that cause confusion and uncertainty amongst potential surf park developers and visitors to our facilities. And while Wavegarden has simply focused on our business and building better and more sustainable Wavegarden Coves all over the world with our dedicated partners, we felt we couldn’t let these untruths slide anymore.
