Surf Snowdonia has announced it is closing for winter with seasonal staff laid off early and a number of permanent workers made redundant.
The closure is effective immediately, and brings forward the Conwy Valley facility’s planned winter closure by eight weeks.
The world’s first inland surfing facility, which generates the longest man-made waves on the planet using pioneering Wavegarden technology, opened to great acclaim on August 1 this year.
But the facility has since been affected by a number of mechanical faults and has had to temporarily close on three separate occasions.
The most recent breakdown is due to a serious failure of the main drive mechanism of the wave generating machinery.
Engineers from Wavegarden estimate that it will take a minimum of three months to repair.
All Surf Snowdonia’s seasonal staff have had their contracts brought to an end early, and some permanent members of the team have been made redundant.
