Crafting Perfect Waves
Using Pneumatics technology, our system creates over a thousand perfect waves daily, bringing joy to surfers of all levels. The sequencing technology creates the waves in 3 or 4 wave sets. We create different waves for every level of surfing.
“At Waco Surf, there’s no locals, but we’re all part of one community.”

The Wave Pool Experience
In a typical public session, there are 12 surfers on the same skill level (3 groups of 4), and each group takes turns riding waves in 4 wave sets. Once you’ve caught your wave, you paddle back to the peak and get ready for your next set. There’s typically about a 1-2-minute break in between your next wave. There’s not a lot of waiting around, and after an hour, you’ve gotten a great cardio workout. You will get to know the other surfers in the lineup as you take turns riding the first, second, third, or fourth waves. It’s a friendly atmosphere (Good Vibes Only!) and by the end of the session, you’re usually cheering for each other and comparing your favorite waves. We have professional surf guides and instructors in the water to help you with where to take off and guidance on how to surf the wave. After an hour, you’ll be ready to grab some refreshments, watch your video footage, and get ready for your next session!
We also offer private sessions, allowing you to rent the entire wave pool exclusively for your group.
