Waco Surf invites you to elevate your surfing skills with an intermediate surf session at The Runner, one of Waco, Texas’s unique surfing spots. Unlike traditional ocean waves, The Runner offers consistent, man-made waves that give surfers the opportunity to practice and perfect techniques in a controlled environment. During this session, you'll catch three distinct rides that provide varying challenges—from sharp, steep take-offs to smooth, flowing finishes. This experience is ideal for surfers who want to push their limits and learn bigger maneuvers without the pressure of crowded beaches or unpredictable ocean conditions. The smaller crowd means more personalized attention from instructors who understand how to help you refine your style and build confidence. Whether you're aiming to improve turns, balance, or speed, this high-performance setup allows for more repetitions and quicker progress. Plus, the unique nature of this inland surfing spot makes it accessible year-round, blending adrenaline-filled fun with the convenience of Waco’s vibrant city amenities. After your session, explore local eateries or relax alongside the Brazos River to round out your adventure.
