As you all know we have put years of passion and dedication into our dream of building Ride Waterpark.

It seems we lodged at the worst possible time, with council changing the zoning of ours and all surrounding land to not allow outdoor recreation- just to change it back again later.

Getting caught up in that cost us years of time and enormous amounts of money. When we were through the other side and in the clear to re-submit our plans, the huge delays meant our studies that council required for our Environmental Impact Statement were now out of date.

We knuckled down and recruited a new partner, determined not to let it stop us!
We were just gearing ourselves up to go full steam ahead and invest a lot more money into finally making Ride Waterpark a reality when unfortunate personal circumstances became too complicated and we had to make the crushing decision not to continue.

To say we are devastated is an understatement. Now we will be joining you all in hoping for something great for our youth (and adults alike) for our area. We know it is so needed. Thank you all for your support over the years, it has meant the world.

We may have been quiet for a while, but we’ve still been busy!

The already lengthy process of rezoning the land for the park was held up waiting for council to rezone the whole surrounding area at the same time...

It’s now complete and we can move forward!!

During this time there have been some exciting changes and additions to our plans and we are preparing to lodge our refreshed DA to council.

We’re so excited to share more with you as we go along. Thank you so much for your continued support!!

It’s very disappointing that there are false accusations and misleading comments being reported in local media. One or two individuals have also been reportedly spreading rumors that have no basis directly to other locals and business owners.

Unfortunately the people that appear to want a drainage solution the most are trying to work against a local family that are investing a lot money and years of research into creating solutions and major improvements to the drainage.

Sadly these individuals fail to respond to our invitations to discuss their concerns. And one of them has been supportive to our face. We are completely open to questions and concerns and take them very seriously. Our studies are stringently researched by unbiased third party experts and engineers, the answers are true to science, not false allegations. Our comprehensive studies will be released to public at the next stage of our application.

An ethical local company comes along that can help solve these issues as well as provide jobs, innovative ideas and have the environmental factors at the forefront before costs, and we get a few people wanting to work against us rather than with us to help the resolve some of these issues. It’s disappointing, but we know that no matter how good your intentions, you can never please everybody.

On a positive note we have thousands of locals and neighbours in support of the proposal and are optimistic for more positive info in the near future!

After all the rain the last few weeks (we recorded close to 350mL!) we thought it would be a good time to mention the advantages our project will bring to the immediate area in regards to flooding and drainage.
Due to the huge freeboard storage capacity of the wakeboard lake we are able to retain runoff volume of rainwater and reduce the site runoff catchment by 50% !
This means neighboring properties will be 50% better off in rain events by only that one factor!
Then we will also be improving drainage and adding a bio filtration basin with an outlet control pit managing discharge from the basin.
Over $75k has been spent on environmental engineers, hydrologists and professional reports based around the actual site specific science regarding the soil, the groundwater water and the drainage 💦

Was great catching up again with the mastermind Greg Webber, whose design will revolutionize wavepool surfing worldwide. A full size prototype is currently under construction and we are so excited to be hosting the next build here in Port Stephens 🙌
This man is the epitome of innovation. His passion for perfection and attention to detail will blow minds.
2nd photo is a flash back to our first meeting with Greg on our site 4years ago.
Bring it on

One of our founding directors talking about Ride recently at the Sydney Boat Show.
Did you know that the water from the whole cable park & wavepool will be run through a huge ecological filtering ecosystem? No chemicals and fully eco friendly. We'll be creating new ecosystems, carbon absorption, oxygen creation and biodiversity for the area 🏄

Great vibe down boxy today with the waves turning epic as the tide drops.
