Bringing the Beach & Boat to the City.

The Access Gap

To surf, you need an ocean. To wakesurf, you need a boat, a lake, and a summer day. For the millions of active people living in landlocked cities, these aspirational sports are out of reach for 90% of the year.

Uptown Wave was born from a simple question: Why does geography dictate our lifestyle?

We are building a destination that creates the perfect "Lake Day" atmosphere indoors, 365 days a year. But we aren't just building a pool. We are building the world's first smart-venue for board sports, integrating computer-vision technology to track every carve, jump, and ride.

The top-right depicts a tropical outdoor pool area with lounge chairs, palm trees, and thatched roof umbrellas. The bottom-left features a modern indoor bar with a long white counter, barstools, and abstract wall art. The bottom-right shows an indoor pool area with murals, string lights, vintage decor including a Volkswagen van, seating, and a mural of waves.

Access & Community

We are democratizing the sport. From first-time riders to pro-level athletes training in the off-season, Uptown Wave is the community hub for the inland surf culture.

Tech-Forward

We believe the future of sports is gamified. Our venues feature live leaderboards, video capture, and social integration, making the experience competitive and shareable.

Sustainability

We are committed to a "Guilt-Free" experience. Our facilities utilize advanced heat-recovery systems and solar infrastructure to minimize our carbon footprint.

Leadership

The Team Uptown Wave is led by a team of serial entrepreneurs, builders, and board-sport enthusiasts. We combine deep experience in capital allocation and operational scaling with a technical background in software and automation. We are united by a singular mission: to define the standard for indoor surfing in North America.

Strategic Advisory Board To ensure execution excellence, we are assembling a specialized board of industry veterans to guide our strategy and expansion. Our advisors bring deep expertise across three mission-critical pillars:

  • Sport & Culture: Professional wakesurfers and surf industry leaders ensuring our wave mechanics and culture remain authentic.

  • Technology & AI: Computer vision and gamification specialists overseeing our proprietary digital layer.

  • Experiential Hospitality: Operators from world-class entertainment venues (e.g., Topgolf, major resorts) to guide our high-volume food, beverage, and service operations.
