Endless Surf and Flowstate have announced a partnership, and the first product out of it goes after a problem built into wave pool sessions, which are traditionally organized around ability level and wave type. When a group books a session, the group often does not want 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 the session 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. A mixed-ability group usually means somebody compromising or, in the words of Flowstate CEO Luke Wallace, "you end up surfing separate sessions." A session that serves four different skill levels at once is a different product from one that serves the average of them, and Endless Surf president Paul Chutter said operators "gain an entirely new session product they can offer their guests."
Why the timing matters
The announcement comes as the first Endless Surf lagoon in the United States nears opening. The Point, in Fellsmere, Florida, is on track to be that lagoon, and CBS12 reported on 10 September that it is expected to open in January. As of 11 October 2026, its booking platform reads "Bookings coming soon."
Endless Surf lagoons already run at O2 SurfTown Munich, open since 2024, and at ADRENA and Aquarabia in Saudi Arabia, both opened in 2026. Between those, The Point, and 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
Endless Surf's 27 August announcement does not name 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 three answers will decide how soon surfers can book it.
What comes next
Flowstate will integrate with the software suite Endless Surf already runs, alongside Surf Concierge, Swell Studio and Wave Doctor. The stated roadmap covers personalised wave delivery, immersive media, coaching and progression, and operator intelligence 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 can also know where to point a camera and when to start recording. The companies say the integration will support automated multi-angle media capture, and that Flowstate will be designed into future Endless Surf lagoons to optimize camera placement.
Good to Know
The announcement does not give a launch date, a first lagoon or a price, so 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. As of 11 October 2026, The Point's homepage already carries an "Access Flowstate" button, which makes it a logical candidate if The Mixtape shows up early anywhere. You can follow the build on our Point Surf Park page or compare the vendors on the Endless Surf technology page.
