Peak Surf Park has been in development for the past year.

With a $70 million investment in Peak Surf Park, Tony Miller, a former advertising executive, has purchased the license and is bringing the surf park to life in Tampa. According to Tampa Bay Business Journal, the property is expected to be 30 acres. The park will feature a wave pool, food & drink service, a half-mile long beach and possibly other outdoor activities like wall climbing, skating and trampolines.

Surfing where there's a wave pool guarantees good waves and no sharks. There will be lessons for people new to surfing, plus waves for the more experienced. The park can host parties, concerts, parties and other events. You can learn more about this surf park and register for updates from their website.

The park would share surfing technology that comes from Australia. It comes from Surf Lakes, Australia's first man-made surf pool. You can see their waves in the video.
