Telure Standard 2026.1
The Telure Standard for a surf lagoon
A versioned, Telure-curated program of checks for a surf lagoon, written in Telure’s own words and organized by how the facility actually runs: the daily rhythm first, then the recurring program above it. It is a documented reference the facility measures its own work against and records reasons against, not a certification. The basis register below shows what informs it, and at what depth.
MAHC-informed alignment tracker
Inside Telure, this list is an alignment tracker a facility turns on with a checkbox. The recurring program below is its clause list, informed by the US CDC, with the Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code's Model Aquatic Health Code. The facility matches its own tasks, checklist items and training items to the clauses they cover, marks the clauses that do not apply with a written reason, and its exports state what share of the rest has a check behind it.
This tracker is Telure's own clause list, informed by the organization's published document. It does not replace reading that document yourself and verifying your facility against it, and marking a clause here is a note on your own record, not a statement by that organization. Where equipment is involved, the manufacturer's documentation governs.
The daily rhythm
Opening walk
Walked before the doors open, item by item, each answer attributed to the person who gave it. The starting set for a surf lagoon:
- Composite sheets tight: no lifted edges, cracks, or proud fasteners
- Jet grates and screens seated flush: no damaged segments or debris
- Edge padding continuous at seams and transitions: no exposed backing
- Pump run-up normal: no unusual noise or vibration
- Machinery bay floor dry: no unexplained leaks or pooling
- Rescue tubes and reach poles at station, undamaged
- Session boards racked: no dings, exposed foam, or fin damage
- Leashes and cuffs intact: no nicked cords or torn hook-and-loop
- Depth, rules, and ability-level signage posted and legible
- First aid kit stocked; AED charged and accessible
During hours
Anything flagged during the day opens a corrective entry on the spot: the item, the finding, and who saw it. Taking equipment or an area out of service is a recorded event with a name attached, and so is returning it. Nothing waits for the end of the shift to become a record.
Closing check
The end-of-day counterpart every facility runs: securing the space and making sure nothing the day surfaced dies overnight.
- Activity areas clear: no members left inside
- Hazards cleared from floors and landing surfaces
- Equipment secured, stowed, or powered down per procedure
- Today's flagged items have maintenance entries opened
- First aid and rescue equipment restocked if used today
- Exits clear; doors, gates and access points secured
The recurring program
The work above the daily walk. Each task surfaces on the day it is due and escalates as it goes overdue. Where a check addresses a published designation, the citation chip names it; a chip is a reference, never a compliance claim.
Weekly
Ride surface walk · sheets, grates & padding
Walk the wave dry before first session: composite sheet edges and fasteners, jet grate seating and screen condition, edge padding seams and transitions. Flag anything sitting proud of the sheet line. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
addressing ASTM F770Pump & machinery bay walk
Round the machinery bay: seals and glands for leaks, guards in place, housekeeping clear of the drives, and a listen on run-up for unusual noise or vibration. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
addressing 29 CFR Part 1910Board fleet condition cycle
Work a rotating rack of session boards: dings, exposed foam, fin boxes, leash cords and cuffs. Pull damaged boards and record the pull against the board. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Rescue equipment check
Confirm rescue tubes, reach poles, throw lines, and the spine board are at station, undamaged, and ready. Restock anything used or missing and record what was replaced. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
addressing Model Aquatic Health Code (4th ed.)
Monthly
Water rescue drill & scenario log
Run one rescue scenario on the wave with staff on shift: rider down at the transition, power-drop signal, exit assist. Record the scenario, roles, and timings. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
addressing Model Aquatic Health Code (4th ed.)Wetsuit & impact vest rack cycle
Cycle the suit and vest racks: seams, zippers, buckles, and flotation panels. Retire anything torn or waterlogged and record what was pulled. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Quarterly
Jet grate & screen fastener torque check
Pull, inspect, and re-seat grates and screens on a rotating section of the wave; torque fasteners flush to the sheet line and record any segments replaced. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Every 6 months
Staff training & water-safety currency review
Confirm current rescue-training records for every active staff member; schedule refreshers before anything lapses. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
addressing Model Aquatic Health Code (4th ed.)
Yearly
Full ride & machinery inspection (qualified person)
Full inspection of the ride surface, substructure, pumps, drives, and controls by a qualified person; file the report against this task and open corrective items for anything cited. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.

The manufacturer’s documentation governs
Where a manufacturer's documentation sets an inspection type or an interval for a piece of equipment, that documentation governs. The pack's cadences are a program to build on, not a replacement: when the two differ, Telure shows the difference so it can be seen and documented, and the recorded schedule follows the manufacturer.
Where Telure stands
The Telure Standard is Telure's own curated program. Telure is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any standards body or association named here, and adopting the Telure Standard does not make a facility compliant with, approved under, or certified to any standard. Where equipment is involved, the manufacturer's documentation governs inspection types and intervals.
