Our intermediate wave, The Runner, will give you a long, clean wall to work on connecting your turns, and trying some bigger maneuvers knowing you’ve got more rides coming. This setting is closer to the Advanced setting than the Beginner setting, so make sure you’re ready!

Exceeded Expectations
I've been to several cable parks, but this one is my favorite by far! The staff was extremely friendly and laid back and more than willing to help out the newbies. The cable system is set up perfectly for a smooth ride and transition around the turns of the lake. The water elements were in good condition. The island with lemurs was a nice touch!
A true surf ranch...
A true surf ranch in the middle of Texas. This was our first visit so we decided to try a beginner session. The waves were very predictable and both, my son and I could quickly progress. Overall, I think this spot is an excellent choice not only to learn surfing, but also to improve your skills with relative ease. Although I am more a long board guy, I cannot wait to go back and try some different boards that they have for rent there.

First timer here and we will definitely be back. As soon as we entered the park, everyone was so kind and helpful. Other guests have common courtesy and it's not overly crowded. The burgers are delicious and the park itself is clean.

This place is awesome!!
Very family friendly, great staff, very nice facility. We live in Northwest Arkansas, and the 7.5 hour trip was well worth it. I surfed as a teen and 20-something, but school, work, family have kept me living far from the ocean over the past 10+ years. Have maybe had a dozen sessions in that time. Rented a board (great selection) got 2 sessions in. Was so much fun. Can't wait to head back! We also ran into pros: Sage Erickson (surf) and Daniel Norris (baseball). They were very nice. She ripped.

Hang ten!
Wow! What a great experience. Recommend to stay 2 days or more... and take the entire family. Rent a cabana or bring a tent... it gets hot.

Surfing Isn't Just for the Coast Anymore!
In the middle of Texas, I stand taking video of my husband on sets of waves. Good waves. Real beach. Chairs, cabanas, food.. unbelievable, they pulled it off! Cracked me up getting on the plane to Austin with surfboards!

Amazing Experience
My Costa Rica trip got cancelled this summer, so I decided to take a trip out to surf the park. I had a blast! Everyone in the water was having a great time. There were people surfing from all over the world, nothing but smiles from all.

Well Worth It
I'm from Monterey Bay in Northern California. A real wave park is a perfect place to go during the summer lull here. I don't think I've surfed that much & done that many gowges, lip bashes, bottom turns, carves and over the falls beat downs in one day since I was 17 or 18! I'm 54 now. It was so fun. Bringing a shorter board next time. Can't wait!
