Also, the list of projects getting underway is a testament to the potential power of this industry. Here’s a look at the latest headlines making waves in the industry.

New Details on the Austin Surf Club

More waves are heading to the Lone Star State. The Austin Surf Club, which sits just outside the city of Austin, TX, has a new development in the works. According to the Austin Business Journal, a partnership between Arizona-based Discovery Land Co. and Kelly Slater is building the surf-anchored development that will include condos. The site is the former home of NLand Surf, which closed permanently more than five years ago. You won’t find too many details on the project’s official website, and developers told the media it’s too early to share too many details.
