In order to fulfill our mission to connect, educate, and support the surf park industry, Surf Park Central regularly deploys surveys and produces reports based on original research. Our latest survey is now live and available to be taken in English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. The survey takes around 5 minutes to complete and participants may opt in to have their name drawn to win one of four US$150 gift cards.
We’ve been collecting consumer sentiment about surf parks since 2015 and tracking consumer trends and attitudes. I’ve heard from many in the industry that they find these insights invaluable in shaping their thinking about operations and marketing, justifying their assumptions in pre-development and feasibility, and bolstering data rooms in funding rounds.
We rely heavily on the support of our partners to disseminate our surveys directly to mailing lists, through newsletters, by passing it on to other organizations, and by social media posts and shares.
We would greatly appreciate you taking the survey and sharing it with your networks using this link https://bit.ly/SurfParkSurvey and/or this QR code.
I will be reaching out to operating surf parks directly. However, if you have a large mailing list, newsletter audience, or social media following, your assistance in maximizing our response rate would be greatly appreciated. The larger and more geographically diverse the responses, the better the data that we can report back to you.
