On November 16th, Surf Stadium Japan Co., Ltd., which is building an artificial surfing facility in Shizunami, Makinohara City, Shizuoka Prefecture, has significantly renewed its official website.

It seems that the construction has been progressing smoothly since the exclusive coverage in July this year, and the new official website has the latest drone photos that show the current construction status, as well as the latest information such as facility information and usage fees. . In addition, the “unique Japanese technology” at the facility, which has introduced the same American Wave Machine wave-making equipment as BSR Surf Resort in Texas, is also introduced.

New information ④ Japan's unique technology

It uses American Wave Machine's "Perfect Swell 240 type", which is the same as BSR Resort in Texas, but it incorporates Japan's unique technology. .

Traditionally, there are three types of filtration methods: sand bed, diatomaceous earth, and cartridge. Its landmark is the modern blue-collar round tank.

As a thorough countermeasure against backwashing, double ditches for water distribution are installed along the beach. Since it is no longer affected by turbulent flow, the influence on wave shape and generation time is likely to be considerably reduced.

The opening date has not yet been revealed, but it seems that construction is progressing steadily. Although there are no details on the official website, there are also menus for "RECRUIT" and "RESERVATION", indicating that preparations are steadily progressing toward opening. I would like to look forward to the follow-up report of Surf Stadium Japan, whose opening is finally becoming a reality.
