Surf Era Hits 50% of Crowdfunding Goal and Extends Timeline
Surf Era, the team bringing undetermined wave pool technology to Berlin, announced today that they have hit the 50% mark in their crowdfunding campaign on StartNext. They also extended the campaign timeline until October 23rd, 2019.
Surf Era plans to build a 15-acre (62,500 m²) facility centered around a wave pool that would produce waves suitable for beginners, practicing professionals and everyone in between.
The waves would be generated every few seconds and the waves will run 2-6 feet high on the face of the wave.
They’ve narrowed the wave pool technology choice down to Wavegarden Cove and American Wave Machines PerfectSwell. The renderings from the team look similar to other Wavegarden Cove installations like The Wave in Bristol.
With either technology behind them, it’s a safe bet that the pool will create lefts, rights, and whitewater rollers for beginners. More advanced surfers can expect barrels, air sections and ripable walls.
