Surfs up in Snowdonia!
Surf Snowdonia opened in late 2015 as the
Worlds first Wavegarden® artificial surfing
lagoon. This revolutionary concept, which
has drawn the attention of the World’s
surfers, generates consistent waves, at
varying heights in a massive 300m long
lagoon, making it suitable for beginners
through to professionals. The attraction
also boasts on site camping pods, crash and
splash activities, surf academy, restaurants,
surf shops as well as children’s soft play.
“
Surf Snowdonia was a fast-paced,
commercially critical project and we
needed to select a delivery partner
for our tensile building who could not
only work autonomously but who we
were confident could produce the right
quality product in a timescale to fit our
tight programme. Collinson achieved
this and helped deliver the world’s
first stadium surfing venue.

WCP Associates were employed by Conwy Adventure Leisure to manage the design and construction
of Surf Snowdonia including the surf academy. After looking at a selection of building systems for
the surf academy, the Collinson range of building systems were recommended to WCP and a meeting
was arranged. Already familiar with tensile structures the Conwy Adventure Leisure Chairman was
confident that the Collinson Challenger building system would fit the bill perfectly to create a light,
bright and modern facility. They liked what they saw from Collinson, a quality product from a reputable
company with a proven track record of delivering projects on time; Collinson were employed on a
subcontractor basis and work began immediately on site to ensure tight deadlines were met.
