Its wave pool is the size of three football fields, built at an investment of approx. NIS 170 million. The pool is divided into two 14.5 thousand m 3 sections, each producing 25 types of waves at a rate of up to 700 waves per hour, from gentle rollers for beginners to more challenging breaks for more experienced surfers. The complex was built by Wavegarden, a leading global wave technology company that has built nine other surfing lagoons around the world. The complex will be open every day from 6am to 11pm, with a capacity of up to 80-90 surfers at a time. Daily schedules will announce in advance which type of waves will be available and at what time, so that people can come at the time that suits their surfing level. Surf lessons will be given and surfing equipment will be available for rent. The complex also has a dining area, lounge areas, large lawns and a wellness area with yoga, Pilates, meditation, ice baths and more. srfparktlv.co.il
