by Westwind Surfaces

Westwind Surfaces provides custom footing and arena design services for equestrian facilities, from small home arenas to large showgrounds. Founded by arena builder Dan Carr, the company tailors each project to the individual client’s needs and preferences. Its expertise extends across the finished arena, with services that include grass or all-weather footing, arena placement design, and full site development plans. Westwind aims to deliver high-quality, carefully designed surfaces and offers expert advice throughout the process.

The company also offers Noviun™ performance fiber, described as a plastic-free blend of natural fibers for arena footing. According to Westwind, Noviun is designed to reduce concussion and improve absorption compared with conventional synthetic textiles, while providing structure for grip. It is also intended to help prevent microplastic and toxin contamination in footing, arena air, and surrounding watersheds. Through customized footing solutions, design support, and its performance fiber product, Westwind serves clients seeking arena construction or improvements suited to their specific facility and use.
