Surf Stadium Japan

Surf Stadium Japan is a wave pool that will feature PerfectSwell technology from American Wave Machines. The facility is under construction, and if the project proceeds as planned, it will open to the public in June 2020.

Very little is known about the waves produced by the wave pool, but according to SurferToday.com, the wave pool “will produce one large wave every six seconds – ten per minute”. It’s also a safe bet that the flexibility PerfectSwell technology will allow the pool to offer barrel, turn and air sections. Toshihiko Adachi, CEO of Surf Stadium Japan, wants the stadium to facilitate competitive training and a rapidly expanding and enthusiastic surf community.

The pool will be located in Shizunami, which is not far from Makinohara in Shizuoka Prefecture. The location was chosen to host training facilities for the U.S. and other surfing teams.
