“This will be the first surf community in Utah. It will have the second-largest standing surf wave in the United States,” the developer said.
Crews work on a new community for waterskiing, wakeboarding and wake-surfing called Southern Shore, a new development being built in Hurricane, the first private luxury surfing community in Utah. Each of the 34 homes fronting the lake will have its own boathouse to store a boat.sang in their 1963 signature hit “Surfin’ in the USA.”
“This will be the first surf community in Utah,” Christensen said. “It will have the second-largest standing surf wave in the United States. And the new technology that goes into that probably makes us unique in the world right now.” Owners of lakefront lots will have their own private boathouses. Each lake will be stocked with largemouth bass, perch and other fish for anglers. Parks and tennis, pickleball and volleyball courts will round out Southern Shores’ recreation regimen.
“The water keeps getting recirculated,” he said, adding the hourly cost to run the surf pool is “cheaper than running a boat for an hour, and we can cycle 20 people through the surf pool in that amount of time.” Christensen estimates the total amount of water that will have to be replaced each year due to evaporation at 135-acre feet. An acre-foot is nearly 326,000 gallons, which is enough water to cover an acre of land about one-foot deep.Edward Andrechak, water program manager for Conserve Southwest Utah, credits Southern Shores developers for their conservation efforts but said losing 135-acre feet of water to evaporation is a major concern.
While acknowledging water is always a worry, Southern Shores developers are confident their conservation efforts and water rights will ensure they have a reliable supply of water for the foreseeable future. Apparently, a lot of others share the Christensens’ love of water. Even though most of the news about Southern Shores has been by word-of-mouth, all but one of the development’s pricey lakefront lots have been sold. Most of the buyers are from northern Utah.
