Wild new tech summons dream waves for surfers after spotting them in the lineup

Endless Surf and Flowstate have developed 'The Mixtape,' an AI-powered system that uses computer vision to identify surfers in a wave pool and deliver personalized waves based on each rider's skill level, allowing surfers of different abilities to ride together. The collaboration, two years in the making, also includes multi-angle surfing capture and AI-powered coaching, with plans for future products. DSRT Surf, a 5.5-acre wave park in Palm Desert, California, is set to open in late summer 2026, featuring the Wavegarden Cove system that generates up to 1,000 waves per hour.

A new collaboration between two high-tech wave pool companies is using AI https://nypost.com/2026/08/19/world-news/students-who-use-ai-score-great-on-homework-but-bad-on-tests-study/ to create a more personalized, family friendly wave park experience https://nypost.com/2026/07/02/lifestyle/massive-california-surf-park-deemed-best-wave-pool-on-earth-by-pros/ . Developed by Endless Surf and Flowstate, “The Mixtape” is a system designed to allow all surfers to ride together, regardless of their surfing skill https://nypost.com/2025/09/25/health/how-i-learned-to-surf-without-leaving-times-square/ level. The collaboration has been more than two years in the making, according to the two companies. But how does it work? The wave tech factors in skill levels of riders in the group and customizes waves accordingly. Once you’re out on the water, the AI-powered computer vision identifies each surfer in the lineup and connects with software to deliver their selected wave. “The Mixtape brings together the two most advanced technologies in their respective fields to make an already unique Endless Surf experience even more personalized,” said Paul Chutter, president of Endless Surf. “Surfers can share long rides with their friends and family while each getting the wave they want, and operators gain an entirely new session product they can offer their guests.” Surf parks are typically organized around ability, but Flowstate says their new technology can help bring surfers at different levels together. “Surfing with friends or family usually means everyone needs to want the same type of wave, or you end up surfing separate sessions,” Flowstate CEO Luke Wallace said. “The Mixtape changes that.” The collaboration also includes multi-angle surfing capture and AI-powered coaching. The two companies plan to collaborate on more products in the future.

The Wavegarden Cove system is designed to generate multiple wave types simultaneously, producing up to 1,000 consistent, ocean-like waves every hour for all surfers from beginners to experts.
