We are so supremely focused on sustainability and there are a lot of aspects … We have dramatically less wasted water than sand filtration and regenerative media filtration where a lot of backwashing occurs to clean the water.” VVater’s Jessica O'Leary spoke with Jess Ponting about the company’s latest technology and how it's a game changer for the surf park industry.

When building a surf park from the ground up, one of the first steps is selecting the right location. As Craig Stoddart highlighted during his VIP presentation with Damon Tudor, the significance of location goes beyond mere geography.

This month we attended the Surf Park Central Summit in San Diego, and were delighted to win the Sustainability and Positive Impact Award. We're so proud to be recognised as a leader in the industry in terms of our approach to responsible development and operations. Since Nick Hounsfield founded The Wave back in 2010, we have committed to creating an exceptional experience, in a responsible way, always balancing people, planet and profit. This year, we also gained our B Lab UK status - making us the first surf park in the world to receive this accreditation. The certification recognised the work we have done to date, and most importantly, helps the team to identify where we can continue to improve going forward.
