Shark Tank alumnus Stephan Aarstol founded Tower Beach Club in 2019 at 1010 Santa Clara Pl in Pacific Beach, 92109, transforming a waterfront property into a 4,300-square-foot indoor-outdoor event venue and surf shop. Aarstol holds an MBA in New Venture Management from the University of San Diego and was named to the Alumni Hall of Honor in 2018. He first gained national recognition when billionaire Mark Cuban invested $150,000 in his Tower Paddle Boards company during a 2011 Shark Tank episode, a venture that went on to exceed $40 million in sales. The Beach Club itself offers 270-degree panoramic views of Mission Bay, with sightlines stretching from La Jolla to the north and Mission Beach sunsets to the west. Couples and corporate planners looking for waterfront settings can also explore events at Paradise Point Resort & Spa on nearby Vacation Road. Event manager Tony coordinates weddings, corporate retreats, and private parties for groups ranging from 30 to over 200 guests, with an adjacent 10,000-square-foot beachfront lawn available by city parks permit. Surfing enthusiasts visiting the venue can book lessons at Pacific Beach Surf School just minutes away. The venue has hosted segments for The Ellen Show and offers BYOB flexibility that keeps costs well below comparable San Diego waterfront spaces. Aarstol was recognized on the Social Capital Top 100 list and named among the top ten most influential business leaders in San Diego by Our City Magazine in 2017.
