Surf Park Summit 2 Announced for 2016 at Surf Expo

Surf Park Central and the SDSU Center for Surf Research are pleased to announce Surf Park Summit 2.

The industry’s second ever Summit to accelerate the future of surfing outside the ocean.

As we see it, the vision is clear: build authentic, sustainable and profitable surf experiences to grow the surf industry and provide the mental, physical and emotional stoke of surfing to those that do not have access to the ocean. To do this, the Summit will gather the industry’s top minds including surf park and surf pool developers, investors, operators, suppliers, academics, experts and athletes to discuss the opportunities and challenges related to the development of man-made surf destinations.

“Surf Expo is happy to collocate with Surf Park Summit 2 and we’re excited about the possibilities of expanding the business of water-related board sports going forward.” — Roy Turner, Surf Expo Show Director, SVP Emerald Expositions
