Big wave machine — by the sea — rolling into surf mecca El Segundo
Los Angeles Times
|October 25, 2025
"El Segundo has been a mecca for surf culture since the 1950s," City Councilman and surfer Drew Boyles said.

L.A. AND Orange counties have the largest concentration of surfers in the world.
"But frankly, the surf out front is consistently poor-to-fair and it’s, like, absolutely crowded. So, this wave pool is going to be incredible."
Boyles likened the potential appeal of the surf park to Topgolf, which makes a point in its advertising of putting beginners at ease with swinging a club for fun while also appealing to experienced golfers.
"Topgolf basically lowered the barriers to entry for people to get into the game of golf," Boyles said. "Wave pools are doing the same thing, lowering the barrier to entry for people to get into surfing in a controlled, safe environment that's not as intimidating as the ocean, that’s predictable and consistent."
Boyles, a real estate developer, is working on developing a surf park of his own in Phoenix.
