URBNSURF was formed after our Founder, Andrew Ross, visited Wavegarden’s R&D centre near San Sebastian, Spain in 2012. He was blown away by the perfect, consistent waves being produced among the mountains, miles from the coast.
After surfing more waves in a single session than he’d had in the previous six months, and recognising the opportunity for surf parks in Australia (which has the highest per capita surfing participation rate in the world), Andrew acquired the rights to Wavegarden technology, and has been working towards building Australia’s first urban surf parks (hence the name) ever since.
