As I eased onto my feet, the wave crested and propelled me forward: I was surfing! I’d traveled to the two-acre wave pool at Waco Surf, a water sports complex in Waco, Texas, chasing an unfulfilled childhood dream. A freshwater wave pool, it turns out, was a perfect place for this newbie to get her surf legs. “In the ocean, you might have to wait another hour, or your next session, to get another shot.”
