Surf Park Summit’s Developers Track Series is a specially curated collection of presentations aimed to bring more developers and associated industries into the surf park space to advance the industry and usher in a new era of surfing.

The targeted series of discussions will occur during the annual Surf Park Summit, which takes place this year from Sept. 19-20 in San Diego, CA.

Hundreds gather to discuss the state of the industry that’s pushing surfing to new locations around the world.

The Developers Track Series will focus heavily on information and real-world lessons from experienced players, providing them with expert tips from industry insiders. Individuals and companies looking to invest, develop, own or operate a surf park will learn from those who have done it before and can expect to gain critical insights into the strategies, tactics and tools that have led others to success.

Discussion topics include:

Financing and investing
Location viability factors
Choosing the right technology

Construction process
Project management and the development team
Park operations

“You want to come here to connect with suppliers, investors and other developers, and that is exactly what happened. We’ve been really pleased with the connections we’ve made,” said Aaron Trevis, CEO and Founder of Surf Lakes

Matt Hyslop, Head of Destination Consulting & Director at Colliers, echoed the statement and said, “90% of the folks (in the industry) are right here. Within two days, I’ve spoken to everybody and reconnected or met new people. There are so many great projects coming forward.”

As the industry continues to grow, this year’s Summit event is expected to be one of the largest ever. Anchored with expert panels and unmatched networking, the Summit event has been the key driver in the industry for advancing the future of surfing outside the ocean.
