About the venue
URBNSURF Melbourne is Australia’s first surf park, located at 309 Melrose Drive, Tullamarine. We deliver perfect waves and incredible surfing experiences for all ages and abilities in a safe, controlled environment.
Typically you needed an ocean, and the elements to align (swell, tide, winds, daylight) to score good, let alone perfect waves. And if you want to learn, or are chasing surf, you have to commit time to driving to a coast, checking multiple spots, and be willing to battle crowds at popular breaks. There’s also the risk of marine hazards, including rips, the cold, and hungry monsters of the deep. So what’s the solution?
URBNSURF parks, providing perfect, ocean-like waves in an authentic, safe and controlled environment, catering to all ages and abilities.
