A new era for Virginia Beach, and a new industry standard. Welcome to Episode 2 of The Wavegarden Effect: Atlantic Park Surf. Backed by $350M in municipal bonds and private investment, this 12-acre public-private partnership—stewarded by Virginia Beach native Pharrell Williams—demonstrates how municipal vision and private capital align to create long-term urban value. Key performance & asset highlights include: - High-Yield Foot Traffic: Anchored by a 2.5-acre Wavegarden Cove lagoon operating up to 14 hours daily, delivering a 97% repeat visit rate. - Mixed-Use Integration: Combines luxury residential space, retail, and a Live Nation venue (The Dome) to ensure continuous, multi-demographic demand. - Infrastructure-Driven Value: Proves that specialized sports technology serves as destination infrastructure—boosting tourism and municipal revenue. Atlantic Park is more than a coastal development; it's a blueprint for modern mixed-use real estate and urban regeneration.

By the numbers: 50+ wave types engineered for every ability, from beginners to pros 100+ surfers accommodated simultaneously across dedicated Reef and Bay zones 300+ world-class barrels generated per session 60M+ waves generated globally Behind every session is a proven value-creation engine: drawing 250,000+ visitors annually, operating with a benchmark IRR above 20%, and driving premium yield across real estate, hospitality, and mixed-use developments.

High energy in Virginia Beach last week for Surf Park Summit 2026. Congratulations to Surf Park Central for organizing the event. It was great to connect with industry partners, see our first Wavegarden Cove in the U.S. in action at Atlantic Park Surf, and watch it draw packed crowds while continuing to generate high demand and excitement. Looking forward to what’s next!

45 minutes outside São Paulo, in the Brazilian countryside, there's a white-sand tropical beach breaking perfect waves. It’s not just a lifestyle destination, it’s a masterclass in financial return. Welcome to The Wavegarden Effect, a case study series showcasing how world-class surf infrastructure serves as a flagship anchor to unlock exponential value for real estate developments across the globe. Ep. 01: Fazenda da Grama When developers integrated a Wavegarden surfing lagoon and private beach into their residential community, it fundamentally re-priced the asset class. Some key financial metrics highlight the impact: • 178% IRR  • 9x Multiple on invested capital  • 10x Price per lot multiplier  • 200 residential lots sold out in a matter of months  • 3-Year full capital payback The surfing lagoon represented 5% of total project costs and was organically funded through pre-sales.

We're all about finding ways to help surfers progress, and Check My Surf | Surf Eye just launched upgraded take-off zone screens for Wavegarden surfing lagoons: now 4x larger, full color, and showing instant video replay of your last wave. What it means for surfers: analyze your wave seconds after riding it and adjust your technique on your very next wave. Also live on screen: countdowns, wave type, and session metrics, pulled directly from the wave generator. For operators: new revenue through branded content, plus real-time safety messaging. It's the only AI video system connected directly to wave generation technology — built specifically for Wavegarden lagoons.

Canada is officially getting its first surf park, and it will be powered by Wavegarden. Huge congrats to our partners at SOUTH BRITANNIA SURF on filing the permits for a 7-acre Wavegarden Cove, paired with a massive surf hub, bar, and academy along British Columbia’s Sea to Sky, the iconic highway connecting Whistler to Vancouver. Groundbreaking this summer. Waves break in 2029. Rendering via SOUTH BRITANNIA SURF

We are thrilled to announce the partnership between Surfers Cove and CheckMySurf | Surf Eye , bringing advanced AI video technology to Portugal’s very first Wavegarden lagoon in Óbidos. Every surfer — beginner to pro — gets automated, high-definition replays and personalized session stats on their phone, transforming how they can analyze and improve their skills. Behind the scenes, the system integrates directly with our Wavegarden Cove technology, giving the Surfers Cove team real-time tools to manage the lagoon, optimize wave performance, and monitor safety. We can't wait to see this game-changing project come to life!

EXPANDING OUR FOOTPRINT IN THE US MARKET We are proud to have successfully completed the wave commissioning phase at DSRT SURF in Palm Desert, California. Marking our second facility in the United States and our most technically ambitious project to date.  Our fluid engineering and SurfOps team has developed a definitive catalogue of more than 60 world-class wave types. This menu includes innovative programming evolutions like "Turns to Barrel", "Air Training" ramps, “Carve waves”, and "Twister"—our most powerful, wide, and technical barrel to date—already fully tested and endorsed by California’s surfing elite.  Operating in a desert environment, the project reflects our strict commitment to sustainability. Powered by an innovative water management system, the lagoon is completely independent of the public supply network, running on an annual water consumption equivalent to just 1.3 holes of a traditional golf course.  As we prepare for further expansion across the country, DSRT Surf stands as a benchmark for high-performance surfing, technological efficiency, and sustainable development.  ➡️ Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/egE7VpqB
