Surf Palm Springs!

I’m not talking about the Internet. Aside from the caftans and cocktails, there’s a new wave in town.

Hard to beat the perfect waves with the perfect weather.

Waves for die-hard surfers to ones just starting out, Palm Springs now has its very own surf club.  The Palm Springs Surf Club (PSSC), formerly the Oasis Water Park, opened its doors on New Year’s Day, 2024. It will celebrate one year coming up in a few short weeks from now. 

Fake it till you Make it.

A cool looking dude – somewhat relevant to this post.

The PSSC uses advanced pneumatic wave technology to create state-of-the-art customizable waves for surfers of all skill levels. The waves can accommodate up to 25 surfers at once and use only 1% of the water volume of a typical golf course.

Have no fear!  There are sharks in these waters, but not of the killer kind.

They offer lessons too (but not for dogs, in case you were wondering).  They also have a restaurant on the premises with a very good Happy Hour menu.  So if you’re a hungry voyeur, you can just eat and watch.

James Dunlop is the founder of PSSC.  The club was created by a partnership between three pro surfers: Cheyne Magnusson: A professional surfer and wave curator at Waco Surf in Texas, Kalani Robb: A professional surfer and surf icon and Tom Lochtefeld, The founder of Surfloch Wave Systems, which pioneered the pneumatic wave technology used at the PSSC.
