American Wave Machines, Inc. announced today that the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort and Spa, adjacent to TPC® Sawgrass, one of the PGA Tour’s most venerable courses, is the first resort in the US to include the SurfStream® wave machine. The newly renovated resort featured former ASP World Tour Surfers Lauren and Todd Holland, owners of School of Surf Cocoa Beach, Florida providing surfing demonstrations and instruction on SurfStream® during opening weekend.
“The Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort and Spa has incredible potential to provide locals with tools for surf education never seen anywhere else,” said Todd Holland, former ASP Pro Surfer and owner of School of Surf, Cocoa Beach, FL. “People of all abilities will be able to get the fundamentals down and develop their skills in a cool setting at a beautiful resort. I’m stoked to be part of this.”
SurfStream® technology creates a deep cushion of water so riders can use real surfboards with fins to carve on an endless wave. With multiple wave types in one machine allowing for body boarding and surfing, SurfStream® is appropriate for riders of all skill levels.
“SurfStream® fits well with the Marriott innovative approach to delivering service and amenities to their guests.” said Bruce McFarland, president of AWM. “We’re looking forward to introducing surfing to the active families at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort and Spa.”
