The technology
Surftopia at Aquarabia runs on Endless Surf — a pneumatic system from Richmond. Endless Surf uses a centralised pneumatic swell generator combined with a segmented reef bathymetry that can be tuned to break left, right or peaky. A software layer allows more than 40 distinct wave programs, from ankle-slappers to head-high barrels, in a single operating day.
Announced as part of the Qiddiya megaproject south of Riyadh, Surftopia is the anchor surf attraction inside Aquarabia. The reef bay measures 180 by 73 metres and holds more than 10,000 cubic metres of water, split into four wave zones for parallel sessions. Opening is targeted for 2026 alongside the broader park.
