Endless Surf and Flowstate have announced a partnership, and the first product out of it goes after a problem every wave pool has. When a group books a session, the group almost never wants the same wave. One person is on their third-ever surf. Someone else wants the end section. The pool has to pick one setting, and somebody spends an hour riding the wrong thing.
The system is called The Mixtape. Before a group gets in the water, each surfer chooses the kind of wave they want. The lagoon then delivers those waves to those people inside a single shared session, with nobody sitting out and no stopping to change the setting.
How it works
The part that stands out is what it does not require. The companies say no wearables, no RFID tags and no manual interaction are involved. Flowstate identifies each surfer, Endless Surf delivers the wave that surfer picked, and the session runs on without a pause. The two companies say it took close to two years to build.
The material Endless Surf released shows what a session looks like from the software's side. Each surfer carries an ID and a wave profile locked in before they paddle out, covering skill level, wave type and a training plan. In the example frames one surfer is set to expert and barrels, another to advanced and turns, a third to pro and airs, and a fourth to beginner and cruisers. The waves are then ordered and delivered one at a time inside the same session.
For operators the appeal is straightforward. Mixed-ability groups are the hardest thing to sell a wave pool session to, because somebody in the group is always being asked to compromise. A session that serves four different skill levels at once is a different product from one that serves the average of them.
Why the timing matters
This lands on a specific pool rather than in the abstract. The Point, in Fellsmere, Florida, is the first Endless Surf lagoon in the United States, and it is close. Its site still reads coming soon, but account registration on its booking system is already open, which is usually one of the last things to go live before sessions do.
The operating flagship until now has been O2 SurfTown Munich, open since 2024. Between those two, plus the projects still under construction, Endless Surf has enough installed base for a software layer to be more than a concept.
What has not been said
Neither company has named which lagoons get The Mixtape first, whether it carries a price premium for the surfer, or whether it needs hardware that existing pools do not already have. Those are the three questions that decide whether this reaches the public in 2026 or sits in demo form for another year, and none of them have public answers yet.
What comes next
Flowstate is being folded into software Endless Surf already runs, including Surf Concierge, Swell Studio and Wave Doctor. The stated roadmap covers personalised wave delivery, coaching and progression tracking, media capture, and operational analytics for the people running the pool.
The media angle is the one with the clearest commercial logic. If the system already knows which surfer is about to receive which wave, it also knows where to point a camera and when to start recording. Endless Surf says the technology will inform camera positions in lagoons still being designed.
Good to Know
Nothing here changes what you can book today. No operating wave pool has announced Mixtape sessions on its schedule, and no pricing exists publicly. If you are planning a trip this year, plan it on the wave settings a pool already advertises.
The one thing to watch is Fellsmere. A brand new lagoon is the cheapest place to deploy new software, because there is no legacy setup to work around. If The Mixtape shows up anywhere first, The Point is the logical candidate. You can follow the build on our Point Surf Park page or compare the vendors on the Endless Surf technology page.
