Surf Lakes is building a global surf park brand using its patented 360° wave-generation technology to bring ocean-like surfing to inland areas and create an inclusive experience for surfers of all skill levels. Their wave system, capable of producing 2,000 rides per hour and accommodating up to 200 surfers simultaneously, enables scalable, high-capacity parks that generate revenue through licensing, royalties, and direct park operations. With nine global licenses already sold, the company’s model allows partners to establish profitable surf parks while Surf Lakes benefits from recurring revenue streams.

Surf Lakes is tapping into the growing $65 billion surf tourism market by enabling people to surf regardless of location, breaking down access barriers traditionally tied to geography and ocean proximity. Supported by professional surfers and a seasoned leadership team with backgrounds in engineering, finance, and global franchising, Surf Lakes is poised to grow its presence through the development of company-owned facilities and expansion via licensed partnerships. The company’s roadmap begins with the launch of its first commercial surf park, laying the foundation for a broad international footprint and establishing Surf Lakes as a leading innovator in surf park technology.

Company Info

Surf Lakes develops patented wave-generation technology for surf parks, combining licensing, royalties, and direct operations to make surfing accessible anywhere.

Surf Lakes has developed patented wave-generation technology that can produce up to 2,000 rides per hour and serve 200 surfers simultaneously in a controlled environment. Its central plunger system creates five distinct wave types suited for all skill levels, aiming to make surfing accessible regardless of geographic location.

The company operates on a business model that includes licensing its technology, collecting royalties from partner parks, and operating its own surf park facilities. Surf Lakes has already sold nine licenses worldwide and is preparing to build its first commercial park to validate its platform and attract new partners. With a global surfing market projected to reach $65 billion by 2030 and rising interest in surf-related tourism and participation, Surf Lakes is positioning itself to become a major player in the surf park industry.
