Endless Surf reveals next-generation wave technology

Endless Surf reveals next-generation wave technology
May 29, 2024

Endless Surf, a wave generation technology powered by WhiteWater, has revealed its stadium-sized surf lagoon - at O2 SurfTown MUC  - in Munich, Germany.

The wave technology featured at O2 SURFTOWN MUC, recently debuted its first waves to the world, showcasing immense power and customisability. From high-performance to beginner waves, the technology is capable of crafting waves to suit all surf levels, offering training potential for athletes while also making the dream of surfing attainable for those living far away from surf-producing coastlines.

SurfTown MUC is a 180-metre-long wave pool featuring four different surf zones, each allowing a maximum of 16 surfers simultaneously.

It's over 50% longer in length than a football pitch with one-hour sessions guaranteeing a minimum of 12 wave ride attempts per surfer.

Leon Glatzer, a professional surfer, Olympian, and Red Bull athlete was among the lucky few to experience first waves in his hometown and shared "this is a game-changer for the future of surfing. It was incredible to experience the power that Endless Surf holds while working alongside their engineers to customize waves. They've already created insane wave settings and have barely scratched the surface in terms of possibilities with this wave generating technology."

Endless Surf President, Paul Chutter reiterates how transformative these waves are adding "Witnessing the flexibility of our technology in action is a special moment. Not only for the dedicated teams behind this project, but for numerous destinations worldwide set to showcase our technology. The vision we've had from the start is proving itself and we're only just getting started.

“This project is the first of over a dozen in development worldwide for the Vancouver-based company that is a brand under WhiteWater, the world's largest supplier of aquatic attractions. With first waves now in operation, Endless Surf is setting out to transform the future of the growing surf park industry, stating that its goal is to 'help create world-class surf destinations that are both viable and sustainable businesses.”

With finishing touches being put on Germany's first surf park, the grand opening of O2 SURFTOWN MUC is slated for this summer when public surf sessions will be available. Outside of Munich, Endless Surf continues to progress on projects taking shape across the Middle East, North and South America, and Asia.
