Waco Surf runs two very different waves on one property: a big ocean-style wave pool for the classic surf-trip feel, and a dedicated standing river wave, recently upgraded with the FlowSurf system, for river-style carving. FlowSurf's four settings dial the face from beginner to pro, with wave heights running roughly 3 to 5 feet, so skill level isn't much of a barrier to a good session. The whole operation is built like a resort—stay overnight, eat on site, surf both waves without leaving the property. It's one of the few spots in Texas, or the Midwest for that matter, where river surfers can get genuinely dialed-in reps.
