SURFING CONDITIONS
Wave setup
citywave has the capabilities to be setup for beginners, intermediate and expert surfers. During the 2025 season, Lakeside Surf will offer dedicated beginner, anybody and advanced sessions. Wave setup for ANYBODY public sessions will be set to keep the lowest level surfer safe, while also large enough to allow hard fins. All sessions outside of the Slidewaters season will be ANYBODY sessions. Beginner waves will consist of a wave setup that only allows for soft fins. Dedicated beginner sessions include the free surf for Slidewaters guests at 10:45am & 11:30am and the 12:30 & 1:15 sessions during the Slidewaters season. Sign-ups for the free Slidewaters sessions start at 10am each day, first come, first serve (proof of daily admission required). Dedicated advanced sessions will be 5:45 & 6:30pm during the Slidewaters season. Surfers signing up for the advanced session who cannot safely surf the wave will be asked to stop surfing-rescheduling may be possible. Any guest reserving a private session will be allowed to request a certain wave setup.
Personal Surfing Equipment
All first time Lakeside Surf surfers are required to use our equipment until they are approved by the coach team. For the safety of surfers, personal surf equipment and Lakeside Surf, surfers must prove capable of handling the wave prior to switching to their own equipment. Only approved boards and fin setups are allowed. Standard boards for surfing a citywave are between 4'4 & 6'0 with small or medium fins (maximum large). Lakeside Surf & citywave are never responsible for damage to your personal equipment and/or self.
Surfing & Slidewaters
When Slidewaters is open, Lakeside Surf will be an extension of the waterpark for paying waterpark guests. Slidewaters guests can enter Slidewaters from the Slidewaters Entrance or the Lakeside Surf Entrance. Slidewaters guests can sign up for free surfing from 10am-11:30am on the day of their visit. Free sessions fill up fast, so plan accordingly. Guests only wanting to visit Lakeside Surf do not need to pay admission, but can ONLY enter the surf park from the upper parking lot and the Lakeside Surf Entrance.
Weather
For their own safety, spectators and surfers can expect periodic closure of citywave USA if lightning is in the vicinity of Lakeside Surf. We will not close due to rain, wind, etc. Lakeside Surf reserves the right to alter hours of operation. We will do our best to reschedule surf sessions for those inconvenienced. We do not offer refunds.
