One of the coolest incentive event activities, surfing, is also possible in city locations on urban surf waves.

The perfect wave doesn’t need to be on some distant beach. Artificial waves can be found in cities, providing one of the greatest incentive event activities. Those attending a corporate incentive event can experience the thrill of walking on water with private group surf lessons, taking them from zero to hero in no time at all.

The setting of an urban surf wave is often novel - set amongst the urban landscape, they offer a real sense of escape and celebration. In addition to private tuition, the venues can be booked for private parties, complete with DJs and drinks to complement the beach / surf vibe.

Urban surfing on an incentive event

One of the main drawbacks of surfing as part of a corporate incentive event programme is the location. Quite often, the waves are distant, and sometimes they are unreliable. This is where urban surf waves hold all the cards. Located in cities across Europe, urban surf waves are accessible and consistent – a wave that runs so long as the pumps are switched on.

Instructors perform tuition out of the water and are then at the wave to offer 1 to 1 guidance as participants venture onto the wave. Within a short time, many beginner surfers are up and running, learning how to manoeuvre the board across the wave.

Other incentive event activities

Urban surfing is a great new addition to many cities across Europe. Event planners have many other water sports to include in incentive events, as well as more sedate cultural options.

Alternative to urban surfing - real surfing

While urban surfing is convenient, and more time is spent riding (and falling off) waves, the real thing is still the benchmark. Head to the Atlantic and experience the true beauty of surfing.
