HEIGHT
UP TO 1.6 METERS
Like many artificial waves, the wave is adjustable, allowing with sessions for any skill level.
STRENGTH
ADJUSTABLE
As with many artificial waves, the strength of the water flow can be adjusted. This makes the wave suitable for all skill levels. The wave is known to be very powerful.

The wave is created by a pump system that feeds water from the lake into a channel. When the water flows over the wave ramp, a standing wave is created.

SURFING IN THE MIDDLE OF A LAKE
The wave at the gates of the sunny city in northern Italy belongs to a wakeboard park and offers a unique surfing experience on a lake. The wave itself is located in a separate area of the lake and invites surfers of all levels to shred. It offers great conditions all year round.
But Wakeparadise Milano offers more than just good surf. In addition to the wave, there's the perfect location to relax after your surf session. The surf shop with an Italian bar has everything you need to refuel, as well as surf fashion and accessories for your surf session. A large terrace overlooking the lake invites you to chill, enjoy, and sunbathe with high-quality Italian espresso.
New to river surfing? No problem. The beginner courses at Wakeparadise are designed to make your first steps easier.

THE WAVE
The Unit Surfpool at Wakeparadise Milano impresses not only with its width but also with its considerable power. The wave can be adjusted, reaching heights of up to 1.60 meters. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or pro surfer, the wave is extremely firm and steep at all levels. The technology of the Unit Surfpool sucks water from the lake below and pushes it through a grid up onto the slide. This makes the wave feel a little bit rougher. However, the high pressure makes the Milan wave extremely rideable and fast
The beginner courses offer helpful coaching so you can start your journey slow and safe. But also intermediate coaching or powerful contest waves are possible at Wakeparadise. Therefore, the wave is equally suitable for beginners, intermediates, as well as pro’s.
We can highly recommend a coaching session. The coaches will support your surf progress with their know-how. And you don’t necessarily need your own board to surf - you can just rent our Kanoa Boards. Just ask nicely. The team will help you. :)
By the way, an open session at Wakeparadise lasts 60 minutes, which gives you enough time to get used to the wave.
“The wave at Wakeparadise Milan has really become one of my favorites. This unit surfpool wave is super wide, has a lot of pressure and is forgiving at the same time. The location is also simply stunning, as you're surfing in the middle of a lake in a park. This wave is worth the trip.“
