Brand New 37-Acre Surf Park Worth $280,000,000 Will Display Innovative Wave-Tech Made Especially for Surfing

Throughout the year, it is a challenge for Arizonans to surf. They only get about two months (June and July) to take their surfboards and head to Newport or Oceanside for whatever waves they can find. Plus, it becomes expensive to undertake these surfing trips. But finally, it seems hope is on the horizon for Arizonans.

Amidst scorching 110-degree Arizona heat, a groundbreaking development in the wave pool industry is taking shape. Promising to redefine surfing in the desert landscape. Revel Surf Parks, a monumental $280 million project spanning 37 acres, is about to be introduced to the land-locked area of Phoenix, Arizona’s capital. The official Instagram handle of the park recently shared an update for their followers to showcase all their hard work until they officially open.

Revel Surf Parks to the rescue

Soon, Arizonians would be able to enjoy surfing without leaving the state. Revel Surf Parks is set to become a retail and entertainment hub in Phoenix. The centerpiece of this ambitious endeavor is a state-of-the-art surfing lagoon. In the video posted on Instagram, users can see artificial waves being created to help people enjoy surfing. It is being developed by Shane Beschen and Swell Manufacturing, a pioneering artificial wave start-up based in Arizona. However, this project is their first attempt into the world of wave pools. Apart from the wave pool, the park will also consist of a 115-room hotel and a host of other facilities for the people of Arizona.

The mechanism itself is unique because it consists of separate chambers with hydraulic presses above them. This allows for a high degree of adjustability in wave selection. Swell Manufacturing prides itself on the ability to keep surfers guessing, offering a dynamic surfing playlist that evolves with each session. Revel Surf Parks announced their intention to open their doors by Spring 2024, aiming to deliver a world-class experience.

Stab Highway’s Zoe McDougall, who had the opportunity to test the wave during the early stages, described her experience as breathtaking. She added, “It’s really fun, when I surfed it was still the tester wave. I showed up and the whole place was a construction site and the pool was empty and then the next day we were getting barreled.” Surf parks are now becoming quite common as people do not want to wait for the perfect swells in the ocean. A number of surf parks around the world are now attracting a host of customers.
