Surfing and golf are two sports that require specific conditions of the natural environment for their practice. Golf requires large open areas with gentle topography and controlled vegetation. Surfing, on the other hand, requires particular sea conditions and depends on the weather. Until recently it was difficult to enjoy both sports together. Indeed, until very recently, because in recent years projects have been presented that combine both sports, together with other leisure and tourism options.
Surf pools or surf simulators, which initially consisted of small installations with an artificial wave in a static space, have evolved into larger spaces, with various engineering solutions that produce larger, moving waves, very close to real waves. Well, these new large surf simulators are landscaped to integrate with golf courses, as well as beaches and other leisure and tourism areas.
These large surfing pools, which are more like a lake than a conventional swimming pool, require a considerable volume of water that must be filtered and treated efficiently. Amusement Logic takes all these issues into consideration in the design, architecture, engineering and construction of complementary leisure and tourism projects, such as those dedicated to surfing and golf.
