A world-class surf lagoon that will generate meaningful social, environmental, and economic value
Auckland Surf Park
Surf comes first
Auckland Surf Park will live and die by the quality of the surf experience. Its mission is to provide a compelling offer for repeat users. We seek to broaden the enriching experience that surfing brings to a wider and more diverse audience.
Connected to the source
Authenticity is a feeling of a connected whole. Through an expressed structure, integrated and nourishing landscapes, and natural materials, light and ventilation, the design has been thoughtfully considered to create a feeling that the facility is connected and nothing is hidden.
With Aventuur and their project partners, we’ve considered every aspect of the design to provide an authentic experience for all levels of surfers, from beginners to hard-charging grommets, through to those surfing with families and into their later years. The park caters for all skill levels, abilities, ages and stages and will encourage new people in to get hooked on the immense benefits that surfing offers.
Surfboard design as inspiration
The cleanest outline, rail profile, rocker and bottom contour, fin shape and placement drive the best in surfboard design. Logical planning, efficient servicing, direct and clear pathways and sight lines minimise friction and complexity leading to an elevated experience.
Embedded in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland / Aotearoa New Zealand
Incorporating Aotearoa New Zealand’s unique flora, fauna, art, community and culture through an integrated design approach between landscape and architecture embeds the facility and its users into a mature surf-centric outcome.
Complementary services only serve to bolster and deepen the experience – its healthy F&B offerings and targeted coaching, coupled with onsite accommodation, means the surf park experience will offer the full spectrum of support to instill a passion for the sport for all who experience the facility.
We wanted to create that sense of excitement from the moment you arrive. As soon as you catch a glimpse of a peeling set of waves – you’re connected to the energy that the sport provides. The beauty of the surf park is that there are a huge variety of spaces and places for everyone to enjoy – and its safety features make learning to surf or honing your skills a much safer and thoroughly enjoyable experience. We really want everyone to ‘get the stoke’ that surfing and being connected to nature provides.
Resilient + Regenerative
The project aims to connect its users to a clear understating of health, movement and the importance of ‘food as medicine’. Aligning these with sustaining and resilient net-zero architecture and landscape, the park provides places for people to thrive, and for nature to regenerate built-form environments.
