🎤 TSE Talks: Surf Parks | The Future of Surfing or the End of Surf Culture?

Are artificial wave pools the future of surfing? Surf parks are spreading worldwide, promoted as accessible, safer and available all year — but they raise questions about water and energy use, their impact on coastal destinations, and what happens to surf culture. Drawing on international examples, this participatory debate weighs innovation against environmental and local-identity concerns.

Speaker: Jules Raimondo, PhD candidate in Sociology, University of Angers. Free and open to all.
