DREAMING of that perfect wave or keen to learn how to let it rip like a pro?

Spanning a 3.6 hectare site, with a lagoon similar in size to the Sydney Cricket ground, it has been designed to accommodate up to 1,000 daily visitors and is open seven days a week.
The park features a surf academy, learn to surf lessons, leisure swimming pool, skate pad, a Rip Curl retail store, a health and wellness centre and food offerings by Applejack, Rafi Urbnsurf and Sandy’s.
Recognising the iconic Sydney surf culture, the park offers an inclusive way to experience the sport of surfing from expert to beginner wave settings and everything in between.
The world-class Wavegarden technology will ensure members, guests and those trying surfing for the first time, will be able to experience perfect waves all year-round.
With an investment in of excess $75 million, Urbnsurf is not only bringing perfect waves to the city but is poised to make a substantial impact on the local economy.
Urbnsurf CEO Damon Tudor said it was a phenomenal feeling to create something that puts smiles on people’s faces and he’s excited for the public to enjoy all the experiences that await.
“A big part of the story is the authenticity around surfing,” he said.
“Having the pros in the water and enjoying it, means we’ve got something that works as well for them as for beginners.
“It’s an opportunity to try something you never have before but with lifeguards, safety procedures, all the kit you need … so why not come and learn from scratch just like many have done in Melbourne [Urbnsurf’s first wave park which opened in 2020].”
