About us

Surf culture has shaped fashion, music, travel and identity for fifty years, but no one has built a global entertainment brand around it. Not because the demand wasn't there. Because the infrastructure wasn't ready. It is now.

Surf Star Entertainment is the entertainment and IP company built to close that gap, built at the intersection of sport, lifestyle, technology and story, turning surf culture into a scalable, global entertainment ecosystem.

Our first entertainment property, Surfing With Stars, pairs elite professional surfers with high-profile celebrities in an immersive wave-pool bootcamp, culminating in a stadium-style live finale. Launching in Australia in 2027, built to scale to wave parks around the world.

The

Vision

Our aim is to take surfing from niche to mainstream, authentically showcasing the athletes, the culture, and the life-changing impact the sport can have on participants.

Set in a controlled wave-pool environment, Surfing With Stars immerses celebrities in a surf training and competition program designed to inspire personal transformation. Beyond entertainment, the series highlights what surfing actually gives people; confidence, connection and resilience. The series supports OneWave and its mission to promote mental health through surfing, community and shared experience.

Australia is only the beginning. As more wave parks open around the world, Surfing With Stars is built to grow alongside them, market by market.

Our mission:
To turn surf culture's mainstream appeal into world-class entertainment — building formats, talent and experiences that bring audiences closer to the sport, its culture and its people.

The

Team

We're led by an international team spanning Australia, France, the USA, Brazil, the UK, Germany, Switzerland, South Korea and Bali, bringing together decades of experience across surfing, entertainment, production, brand partnerships and international market development.

We operate as one connected team: local knowledge and relationships in every market, working toward a shared vision for Surfing With Stars.

We're backed by senior advisors and specialist legal and financial partners, giving us the credibility and network to build a premium global entertainment property.
