Inland surfing destination The Wave gets new owners
Inland surfing destination The Wave, near Bristol, has new owners.
The company has been acquired as a part of a financial restructure by a group of investors, after it suddenly closed on Thursday following financial challenges.
Julian Topham has been appointed to step in as CEO.
Julian has worked within the surf, music and sustainability sectors for many years – most notably founding and running Boardmasters and Vision Nine.
He is the chair of Surfing England and the Blue Earth Summit, alongside a number of other ventures.
The attraction, near Cribbs Causeway, is built around a manmade freshwater lagoon that generates artificial waves of between 1.7ft and 6.5ft.
The facility opened in November 2019.
