No ocean needed: The PARC Group announces Jacksonville Surf Park in eTown

[thelakelander]

This developer says the 55-acre project will bring the "world-class destination" for waves, surf instruction, fitness training and more to the South Jacksonville master-planned community in late 2027.

While Jacksonville has beaches along the Atlantic Ocean, it now can expect an inland surf park at eTown in South Jacksonville.

The city is reviewing civil engineering plans for Aventuur, a company with offices in Australia and Los Angeles, to build Jacksonville Surf Park at eTown.

Prosser Prime AE is the civil engineer for the project on 55.27 acres at 11374 Etown Parkway, off of Florida 9B.

 Yeah, who wants those pesky old sea breezes and salt air, anyhow?

As an avid surfer I can tell you this place would do just fine here. The surf in Jacksonville - especially during the summer months - is mostly non existent. Add in the funkiness that the dredging project has done to our sand bars and yeah, we could use a place that produces perfect waves.
