New platform Wavepooljobs connects wave pool employment at surf parks, currently listing nearly 100 roles across global operators in a growing industry. We speak with creators Paolo Formenti and Bruno Gujer.

Bill Duncanson came up surfing the beaches of New Jersey, working at one of the area’s core surf shops before architecture became his second passion. Over time, those two paths merged.

Today, through BAR Architecture and Design, he’s carved out a unique niche designing surf lodges and surf parks—combining architectural thinking with a surfer’s understanding of how these spaces should feel and function.

In this podcast, we dig into what makes a good surf park design, what makes a great one, and where some parks still fall short.

One year ago, I sat with Eneko Elosegui at a restaurant overlooking the ocean near his home in St Jean De Luz, a Basque seaport famous for jai alai, artisan patisseries, and being one of the oldest whaling ports in Europe. Today’s meeting was less picturesque; instead, carried out remotely on a generic conferencing platform. But the subject matter was lively and somehow more inspiring than a plate of Poulet Basquaise and a view of the Atlantic. How? Well, announcing that you have 5 surf park projects in the works and shovels in the ground is a huge deal. In this podcast, Eneko shares how being raised in the family development business, becoming an engineer, working at Wavegarden and surfing, have all merged together into his current role to take on the world of wave pools.
