Waco, Texas, United States
Yes. The Desperado is the residential community being developed alongside Waco Surf in Waco, Texas, and homes have been publicly marketed for sale. Buyers should confirm current inventory, pricing and exactly what surf access is included with ownership directly with the sales team, because those details change between sales releases. WPP is independently verifying the current release, pricing range and the owner surf-access structure before publishing specific numbers.

The Desperado is the for-sale residential component of Waco Surf, the PerfectSwell pool in central Texas that became famous as the site of Kelly Slater's first public artificial-barrel sessions. The concept pairs homes within walking distance of the lagoon with the existing public surf facility, making it one of the first true surf-anchored residential offerings in the United States.
