Surfing in the desert

Revel Rukus brought together surf culture, action sports, and live entertainment for a full-day event at the brand-new Revel Surf Park in Mesa, Arizona. Ragtown Media partnered with Get Sendy to lead all production efforts, managing a full team across camera operations, drone coverage, and event photography.

Revel Rukus consisted of the top surfers, skimboarders, high divers, cliff jumpers, death divers and even a fashion show.

Our crew handled everything from high-speed surf action in the wave pool to lifestyle moments, athlete features, crowd energy, and branded storytelling for Revel and its partners. Working alongside the park’s production and operations teams, we captured the event in a way that showcased the innovation of inland surfing and the unique culture forming around this new destination.

The final deliverables supported both Revel Surf Park and Get Sendy across social media, marketing campaigns, and ongoing content needs, blending our signature mix of documentary movement, high-action and clean visuals.
