Four years after the $80 million-plus Palm Springs Surf Club was announced on the former site Wet N’ Wild , the highly anticipated grand opening happened on New Year's Day.
Ten days later, the club announced it was shutting down due to "technical issues" related to its wave-generating system. The Palm Springs Surf Club has not announced a reopening date but its on-site restaurant Amala remains open.
The much-hyped focal point of the facility is a pool that can accommodate 25 surfers on its artificial waves and can be individually customized for varying skill levels. Waves range from 2 to 7 feet.
“The Palm Springs Surf Club has something for everyone,” club developer Tim O’Byrne told The Desert Sun. “Surfing is a mesmerizing sport to watch, and at PSSC, the experience of observing surfers ride world-class waves against the stunning backdrop of the Palm Springs mountains is unparalleled.”
