A lifelong surfer, SurfLoch Founder Tom Lochtefeld doesn`t just have a passion for the barrel, his energy goes deep into the micro analysis of water movement.

Gifted with a mind that thrives on engineering and systems thinking, Tom has spent decades exploring how water, energy and design can come together to create controlled, repeatable surf experiences.

His work fundamentally reshaped what was possible beyond our natural oceans, pioneering wave technologies that enabled surfers to ride endless, precisely engineered waves in environments once thought impossible.

From early innovations in stationary wave systems to the development of large-scale wavepool projects, Tom’s vision has consistently focused on authenticity, performance and progression.

Crystal blue moments at PSSC. 👌 In the barrel, in the air, two entirely different ways to surf the pool, both with the same level of stoke. 🤙

On the 6th July of 2024, in the heart of Rotterdam, the Steigersgracht Canal was forever transformed into a vibrant urban surf destination. 🙌🏼

A visionary build, positioned right in the centre of a city shaped by water, innovation and bold thinking, RiF010 is a powerful example of what’s possible when visionary design meets cutting-edge technology.

Powered by SurfLoch’s advanced wave-generation system, this project brings an authentic surfing experience into a location that you’d be called crazy for dreaming up. 😉

This project shows what’s possible when imagination, vision and collaboration come together to redefine how surfing experiences can exist within urban or previously unimaginable environments.

SurfLoch’s patented Surfer Gate transforms how surfers enter the lineup — enabling deep-water entry directly into the pool (visible in the corner of this image).

By shifting the queue outside the water, the Surfer Gate unlocks new operational efficiency — decoupling time from the surf experience and allowing you to sell rides, one perfect wave at a time.

Innovation that keeps the waves — and the business — flowing
