Mesa surfing lagoon opening delayed for a while
>> Hold on to that boogie board: The new surf lagoon at the Cannon Beach development in Mesa won’t open this month as promised, the victim of supply-chain disruptions.
“There have been delays to open Cannon Beach due to supply chain issues,” said Cannon Beach developer Joseph Cottle. “We are currently testing waves. Once that testing is done, then we will be able to complete the whole lagoon.”
Cottle said that he hopes for the lagoon to open by the end of the summer. . ."
> Thompson said that this project will benefit both the city and its residents.“Not only will the resident be able to enjoy a world-class surf lagoon as well as the amenities that go with it, but the city will also be able to receive the revenue from it,” said Thompson.
> Cottle said that there will be an admission fee to enter the beach as well as an additional hourly fee to surf. There will also be memberships available. A price for admission has not been decided yet.
“It will generate sales tax for the city. There are also things that they’re looking to do in conjunction with. For example, they want to put in a hotel that will generate a bed tax. They also want to bring in restaurants,” said Thompson.
> The lagoon will also be able to host worldwide surf competitions.The size and intensity of the waves can change from beginners to experienced so that everyone is able to participate.There will also be surf lessons available. . ."
