I find it interesting that many of the US rocket launch sites are in close proximity to surfing - Vandenberg/Surf Beach, KSC-Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach, Wallops Island/Chincoteague and Starbase/Boca Chica Beach. But what do you do if you are landlocked with the nearest surf beach 300 miles away? I'm totally stoked for Goodsurf.
Goodsurf is the newest attraction near downtown Dallas located in the Deep Ellum neighborhood. Powered by Citywave, Goodsurf generates a river wave shape allowing for a non-stop, consistent and authentic wave similar to what you might experience at Eisbachwelle adjacent to the Haus der Kunst in Munich, Germany. Even if you have never surfed before, Goodsurf offers 30-minute beginner and experienced sessions with coaching instruction to maximize rideability and ensure that you have a great time. They got you!

They also have a full menu featuring chicken & waffle cones, double smash burger and tacos. I really appreciated the gluten free offerings including loco moco (smashburger over sushi rice with mushroom gravy and topped with a fried egg) and spicy tuna nigiri served on crispy rice square, perfectly paired with a Fresh Refresh mocktail with blood orange, lime, organic agave, and mint. Onolicious!
Even if you have no intention of surfing, just come cheer on your friends and family as they take to the waves beneath the Dallas skyline with the backdrop of the large LED screen, which rotates inspirational images of national parks, views of Earth from the ISS and even live broadcasts of Copa América on the big screen. For those wanting to play out of the water, there is even pickleball, shuffleboard, bocce and cornhole in the backyard. Also take the time to appreciate the many Jeremy Biggers murals nearby and throughout Deep Ellum.
Given the intense heat (everywhere), I am looking forward to dawn patrol surf sessions later this summer. Hope to see you there!
