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.
Located on Power and Warner Roads, Cannon Beach is a 37-acre mixed-use development with plans for restaurants, shops, hotels, community spaces and more. At the center of it will bet the 2-acre surf lagoon.
The new lagoon will be the first surf park to open in Arizona and will also be the first surf park to feature both a large traveling wave and a stationary rapid surf wave in one park.
