In the bustling world of surf park development, it’s easy to get caught up in the technical marvel of the wave itself. However, as Eduardo Grinberg’s insightful presentation at Surf Park Summit 2025 revealed, the true value proposition of a surf park extends far beyond the manufactured swell. Jess Ponting delves into Grinberg’s perspective, highlighting how JHSF is pioneering a new approach in Brazil, one where the emotional resonance of the experience is the core product, not merely an add-on.
Grinberg’s argument challenges the conventional wisdom that the wave is the primary draw. Instead, he posits that the profound emotional connection forged through the entire surf park journey – from the anticipation and camaraderie to the sheer joy of riding a wave – is what truly captivates and retains visitors. This nuanced understanding is reshaping how surf parks are conceived and operated, particularly within JHSF’s innovative projects in Brazil.
