While the Olympics in France may be over, the buzz generated by the surfing event is here to stay. Surf finally received its global stage as the growth of the sport ballooned since its debut in the prior Olympics.  This aspiration to become a part of the surf lifestyle is reaching millions around the globe, many of which are located inland with no access to naturally occurring waves. Luckily for surf enthusiasts in the Alps, this hasn’t been a problem. Exo 38 and their FlowSurf Lake have been keeping French surfers busy with long days, warm weather, and a pumping river wave.

One year ago we had the pleasure of becoming the epicenter of smiles at X Games California 2023. Our FlowRider Mobile, better known as the ‘mo-flo’, was featured in the fan experience zone and quickly became the crowd favorite. In an event typically curated for fans to watch the action, the FlowRider Mobile allowed them in on it. Even with the wait time over an hour with the sheer number of attendees, X Games fans were coming off the wave more stoked than ever. These are just a few of our favorite photos from the weekend where the smiles just speak for themselves!  #Events #FanExperiences #Xgames

Choosing the right equipment for your surf venue can be a tall order. For nearly all owners and operators water and power consumption are top-of-mind in their pursuit of long-term sustainability. That’s why on this #EarthDay we are highlighting our range of FlowSurf products that has been designed with our approach of ‘less is more’. Our FlowSurf Lake and FlowSurf River have both been created to repurpose existing water usage, rather than creating a need for additional consumption. This emphasis on sustainability also extends into our in-ground model, which boasts the lowest numbers in the industry for both water and power consumption. We’re proud on this Earth Day of the continued steps we are taking to further our commitment in aligning surf technologies with a more sustainable future. #EarthDay2024 #LessisMore #SurfingSustainability #Innovation
