Our Story

Surfing is an iconic Australian sport and pastime, offering an attractive lifestyle, with millions of active participants. But surfing is challenging!

Typically you needed an ocean, and the elements to align (swell, tide, winds, daylight) to score good, let alone perfect waves. And if you want to learn, or are chasing surf, you have to commit time to driving to a coast, checking multiple spots, and be willing to battle crowds at popular breaks. There’s also the risk of marine hazards, including rips, the cold, and hungry monsters of the deep. So what’s the solution?

URBNSURF parks, providing perfect, ocean-like waves in an authentic, safe and controlled environment, catering for all ages and abilities.

URBNSURF Melbourne is located at 309 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine, and URBNSURF Sydney is now open at 15 Hill Road (P5), Sydney Olympic Park .

Our goal is to develop world-class urban surfing locations around Australia, to help everyone to #surf&more.
