The City of Sport of Atlético de Madrid will feature an artificial lagoon for surfing next year. Gemswell Surf Madrid promises quality waves for both amateurs and professionals. A commitment to bringing the sport of waves to a city without a coast, using technology to create an aquatic meeting point in the heart of the interior.
How the artificial wave works on dry land 🌊
The system is based on a wave generation mechanism using air or water displacement, similar to other urban surf parks. The lagoon will have controlled depth and shape to produce consistent and adjustable wave breaks in height. This allows both beginners and experienced surfers to train without relying on the sea. The facility will include safety zones, stands, and complementary services for users.
Madrid will no longer have to borrow waves from the beach 🏄
Finally, Madrid residents can stop pretending to be interesting with photos from their coastal trips. Now they will have an excuse to bring their board to work and say they are going surfing after the office. Of course, we will have to see if the artificial wave forgives the same mistakes as the sea, or if, like everything in Madrid, it charges you extra for not catching it properly.
