Billed as the first of its kind in the world, the new Surf Snowdonia water lagoon adventure park provides a unique inland setting for bodyboarding, stand-up paddleboarding, surf kayaking, surf yoga, surf fitness and morning swim sessions. Located in the Conwy Valley village of Dolgarrog in northern Wales, the park was modeled by Spain’s Wavegarden, a group of hydrological, civil and mechanical engineers — all of whom happen to be avid surfing enthusiasts.

Designed to appeal to all ages and skill levels, the park includes the longest manmade waves on the planet, formed entirely from rainwater originating on Snowdonia Mountain. Features include an obstacle course activity zone, a giant floating seesaw called The Blob, and the Crash and Splash Lagoon. There’s also a Surf Academy with two-hour lessons for beginning surfers through advanced, with children ages five and up able to participate. The lagoon will also be the location for water events, competitions and surfing demonstrations.
