SurfPark Resort is a 10-year-old project aimed at developeing wave pools for surfing. The company was created in 2015 and is now headed by Fabio Ferraz who says their focus is “to bring the Brazilian beach vibe to the world through wave pools.” The company stated they have partnered with Bex Global to bring their technology to a worldwide market. For whatever reason, SurfPark Resort is the most secretive of all the technologies we’ve listed, only going as far as to say their system creates simultaneous left and right waves for the same group of surfers during each session and produces waves up to 1.5 meters in height. The first Surfpark Resort was supposed to open in 2021 in São Paulo, Brazil. That hasn’t happened. The company also says they provide mobile venues (again without specifics). Like many technologies without a working prototype, like Webber and WavePrizm, developers could just be waiting for a cash infusion to see their design come to life. Other possibilities include giving up the ghost on the concept. However, we never know if this is the case as companies rarely, if ever, issue statements saying they’ve stopped concept development.
