Queensland surf park planned to help train elite surfers

Three-time world surfing champion Mick Fanning recently unveiled Palm Valley, Australia’s first surf and golf resort, located just seven kilometres from Main Beach at Parkwood International Golf Club.

This project, powered by Endless Surf’s wave technology, will be a staple for outdoor and leisure tourism in Australia by blending a championship golf course, a luxury hospitality resort, and a high-performance surf lagoon.

The Endless Surf lagoon at Palm Valley will cater to all skill levels with customizable wave settings, creating an inclusive surf experience for beginners and professionals alike.

Set to open in mid-2027, Palm Valley is positioned as a premier training venue for elite surfers preparing for Brisbane 2032, with the potential to even host Olympic events.

“Surfing has given me everything,” said Mick Fanning. “Palm Valley is my way of giving back, creating an inclusive space that showcases the future of surf parks.”
