DFW Surf - Grapevine

The staff here absolutely steals the show, with reviewers going out of their way to praise how helpful, friendly, and genuinely accommodating everyone is. Multiple visitors mention staff members by name (Tyler, Nick, and Magnolia all get shout-outs), and there's a consistent theme of employees going above and beyond. One group arrived totally unprepared with new inflatable paddleboards, and the staff patiently helped them get everything sorted. Another visitor appreciated how understanding the team was about rescheduling when an injury got in the way of their plans. Even first-timers, like someone bringing a large dog kayaking, got thoughtful guidance on choosing the right equipment and making sure everyone felt comfortable before heading out. The experience itself gets high marks across the board. Sunset sessions seem particularly popular, with people loving the combination of gorgeous views, a solid workout, and the chance to bring drinks along for a relaxed evening on the water. The location at Grapevine Lake provides a beautiful natural setting that keeps people coming back instead of exploring other spots. Equipment is consistently described as being in excellent, pristine condition. There are classes available for those wanting instruction, and the atmosphere stays laid-back and fun whether you're experienced or brand new to water sports. A nice bonus: dogs can come along on kayaks and paddleboards at no extra charge, and the park entry is free with advance booking.
