Surfing attraction URBNSURF Melbourne was recently among a number of Wavegarden facilities to have had some of the world's best surfers test new waves and help expand the wave menu.

Wavegarden engineers have been extremely busy over the past few weeks programming new air and barrel waves at Wavegarden facilities across the globe: Wave Park (South Korea), URBNSURF (Australia), Alaia Bay (Switzerland), and Praia da Grama (Brazil). This work was carried out with the expert assistance of top pro surfers Yago Dora, Luke Swanson, Reef Heazlewood, Leo Fioravanti, Victor Bernardo and Dion Agius.

Wavegarden offers the highest number of waves per hour and the maximum capacity of users, and these new additional waves cement their position as market leader in artificial waves.

In this latest upgrade, they have perfected four new airs waves and several barrel waves. The new air waves are ideal for straight airs, rotations, flips and alley-oops. A softer wave with less pop (force) has also been created for training purposes.

Wavegarden’s new innovative software program has allowed them to create these waves by altering their power, steepness, and angle.
