Why Revel exists

Built on a why not attitude

Everyone needs a daily dose of excitement. Revel put surf, sand, sun, food, music and community in one place, in the middle of the Arizona desert.

Arizona's first true surf park, and the only true desert beach in the state. Surfing is fun and ever-learning progression, and Revel's job is making sure everyone gets a wave, regardless of skill level. Come one, come all.

The waves

Engineered, not imitation

The lagoon was built with Swell Manufacturing to break like the ocean: split peak rights and lefts off the point, walls for turns, and barrels over shallow water at V Land. Next to it, a standing river wave runs all day for endless laps.

Four levels mean a 7 year old catches whitewater in the bay while an expert threads tubes a few hundred feet away.

The park

More than a wave pool

A white sand beach wraps the lagoon, with cliff jumping at Revel Rocks, a surf-style skate park, a tide pool and a scratch kitchen on the patio.
