The beating heart of the Village
An infinitely programmable wave in Messy, 5 min from Paris-CDG, 25 min from Disneyland Paris, 35 min from Paris, accessible to all, all year round.
The SurfPark is equipped with Endless Surf technology, developed by WhiteWater, the global pioneer in aquatic destinations since 1980 (more than 5,000 projects worldwide). A heart-shaped pool measuring 224 × 82 m, 42 pneumatic chambers, capable of accommodating up to 60 surfers/h in Split Peak mode. An infinitely programmable wave.
Three technological pillars
A proven technology, programmable, sustainable.
Size & shape
- Wave heights up to 2 m / 7 ft
- Wave angle and speed adjustable
- Infinitely modular
High performance
- 500 waves/h on average, up to 60 surfers/h in Split Peak mode
- Interval between waves adjustable from 12 to 30 s depending on mode
- Intelligent current management: no waiting time
Ocean quality
- Pre-programmed and on-the-fly waves reproducing the best spots
- Long rides up to 25 s in Single Peak / Point Break mode
- Beginner / intermediate / advanced zones simultaneously
The heart-shaped pool
A patented design that brings all surfers together.
The heart-shaped Lagoon is not an aesthetic whim, it is the competitive advantage of Endless Surf. The main waves break at the heart of the pool (The Peak), the energy is then recycled and creates perfect whitewater conditions so that beginners can discover the joys of surfing. Intermediate and experienced surfers ride at the same time, in the same session, without interference.The heart-shaped Lagoon has a compact footprint relative to its length: an advantage for fitting a 224 m pool, measuring 10,300 m², or 1.03 ha, into a 12-ha sport-health village without sacrificing the rest of the programme.
Dozens of pre-programmed waves
From whitewash to the perfect tube, at the touch of a button.
Via the proprietary Swell Studio software, operators programme waves section by section, height, speed, angle. Several wave types are pre-set for daily use; custom configurations (tube + turn + air combos) are created for competitions and VIP sessions.
Tubes
Hollow, powerful waves: for pure sensations.
Air sections
Slabs for aerial manoeuvres, performance and competition.
Longboard
Long, gentle waves, perfect for beginners and intermediates.
Turn waves
Long walls: for working rollers and cutbacks.
Gentle rollers
Whitewater for beginners: learn safely from day one.
Two operating modes
Split Peak or Single Peak, the same water, two worlds.
Split Peak mode
Standard daily mode
Two simultaneous waves, a right and a left, at the heart of the lagoon. Average ride: 12 to 19 seconds per wave. The ideal mode for daily use: twice as many surfers served, two independent peaks, two sessions in one.
Single Peak mode
Premium mode · competitions
A single wave programmed from one end of the pool to the other. Ride: up to 25–28 seconds of pure stoke, big noserides, big rollers & cutbacks. The mode for competitions, private events and VIP sessions.
Why Endless Surf?
Choosing a reliable, sustainable, scalable partner.
40 years of engineering
WhiteWater has been designing, building and optimising aquatic destinations since 1980, more than 5,000 projects worldwide. The very first WhiteWater surf pool dates from 1989 and is still operating today.
Controlled CAPEX and OPEX
No annual draining required, facilitated maintenance, energy consumption that scales with lagoon usage. An asset designed to last.
Pneumatic = robust
Pneumatic technology (pressurised air in 42 chambers) has been proven over decades. It produces waves as the ocean swell does: by displacing water via air pressure, proven longevity and facilitated routine maintenance.
Controlled CAPEX and OPEX
No annual draining required, facilitated maintenance, energy consumption that scales with lagoon usage. An asset designed to last.
Water & energy footprint
A wave designed to last, efficient, modular, transparent.
Water: a single fill
- Useful volume: 13,700 m³, continuous circulation, no annual renewal (technical check every 2–3 years per Endless Surf recommendations), modalities to be confirmed with the ARS and relevant services
- Losses: mainly via evaporation depending on temperature & humidity, and water transport (wetsuits, swimsuits, boards, people). The quantity will be determined via hydraulic studies
- Continuous filtration: UV / ozone / gentle chlorination combination (final technical specifications to be determined in EIA and ARS compliance), dry technical equipment outside the pool, facilitated maintenance
- Supplier comparison: Endless Surf benefits from a more compact footprint than other technologies in this pool class, to be confirmed in EIA studies
Energy: modulated by usage
- Estimated annual consumption: order of magnitude 2 to 4 GWh/year for the pool and its auxiliaries, calculated from supplied data and a typical operating scenario (10 h/day, 365 days/year, mixed Split Peak / Single Peak / Half Power)
- Interval between waves: 12 to 30 seconds depending on the programmed mode, which reduces the power peak and smooths the grid draw
- 3 energy modes: Split Peak, Single Peak, Half Power. Only the pneumatic chambers needed for the surf session and demand are activated
- Consumption follows footfall: fewer surfers = fewer waves = less energy. No idle consumption
- To be validated by independent audit: actual annual consumption will be measured in operations, validated by an accredited third-party body (ADEME Base Carbone methodology), and published annually in the Surfers Village Paris environmental report
Industry framework
STOKE professional framework
Endless Surf is a member of the STOKE professional network (Sustainable Tourism & Outdoors Kit for Evaluation), a private surfpark industry initiative, not a COFRAC-accredited certification. The STOKE framework addresses water, energy, biodiversity, governance and community. SVP will commit, in operations, to an independent audit process by an accredited body (ADEME Base Carbone methodology, RE2020 compliance, ISO 14001 where applicable).
The figures above are order-of-magnitude estimates from the Endless Surf ES42 model. Actual consumption will depend on the final sizing, the mix of operating modes, the Île-de-France climate and real footfall. The project will target low-carbon supply (French electricity mix between 50 and 80 g CO₂/kWh depending on the period, ADEME / RTE + rooftop photovoltaic self-consumption). All parameters will be validated in detailed technical studies, audited by an independent consultancy as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), and monitored annually in a public environmental report.
8/ Reinforced-concrete pool construction
The concrete: we own it, without premature promises
According to the Endless Surf engineering plan, the pool will require approximately 7,380 m³ of reinforced concrete. It is a concrete structure, as is an Olympic pool, a retention basin or a bridge. We own that fact and include it in our footprint.
Estimated orders of magnitude
- Approximately 7,380 m³ of reinforced concrete for the pool (per ES42 plan v1.1, plan note: "estimated values, subject to minor alterations during detailed design")
- Approximately 1,354 m² of additional technical rooms (Mechanical + Electrical Room)
- Estimated construction carbon footprint: order of magnitude 3,000 to 5,500 tCO₂e depending on the cement and steel mix chosen (ADEME Base Carbone & FDES concrete industry benchmarks)
- For perspective: equivalent to ≈ 3 Olympic pools in structural concrete, or ≈ 1/24 of the Stade de France
Our approach, without premature contractual promises
- Study the use of low-carbon concretes, depending on the structural engineer's recommendations, the normative exposure classes applicable to pools and actual market availability at the time of construction
- Prioritise reinforcing steel from electric-arc recycled production to the extent the market allows
- Conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) using ADEME Base Carbone methodology, in RE2020 compliance, audited by an independent third-party consultancy
- Publish the construction carbon footprint with the planning application file
⚠️ We do not commit to a specific percentage of low-carbon concrete until structural studies and market availability have been verified. Any premature promise would contradict our principle of transparency and risk not being honoured.
In practice: building the pool requires the equivalent of 3 Olympic pools in concrete, or 1/24 of the Stade de France. Over the 50-year life of the Village, this construction will account for 30 to 50% of the carbon footprint, the rest coming from daily operations.
