New Facebook Group for Central Texas Surfers

I'd join but the link doesn't seem to work.

 

I used to have an Odessa Surf Club shirt. Guy from TX made it as a joke, gave it to me, I wore it, I gave it to Good Will then saw one of my students wearing it...

 

other steers, queers, and 23 foot waves come from texas so i guess that narrows you down and texas didnt fight hard enough in the civil war.

theres an ocean in central texas?

 

People in Texas travel to the break. Not everyone lives a block from the water. I have a friend in Austin that drives to surfside twice a week and a lot of people from Austin drive to corpus for surf. I don't know where you're from, but a 3 hour drive to surf any of the tropical storms we have been getting is well worth it. I can't believe no one here drives more then a few minutes to get to the surf. There is not an ocean in Santa Rosa or Sacramento, but clearly some You guys live on the beach. Oh yeah, there's not an ocean in Houston ether, but they drive over an hour to get HERE.

 

I live in Florida, surrounded by water, and still drive 2 to 2.5hrs each way to surf, occasionally if I hit the Gulf if it's working and it's only 45 minutes from work, maybe an hour from home, each way. But still, lots of driving, it's always worth it to get in the ocean though, good waves or not.

 

Yep, I live in Austin and drive 3.5 hrs each way at least 2x a month to surf Corpus / Port A / Surfside etc. Have a number of friends who do the same. Yeah, TX waves are usually weak and choppy but they do get pretty good sometimes and hey, they're what we've got. Stoke, it's funny thing.

Central Texas Surf Squad: I know several people who regularly carpool down but can't find your Facebook group. Could you post another link? Maybe there's an issue with your privacy settings?

Edit: link seems to be working now.

 

2+ for me to get to surfside, always worth it! I emailed you. CC is a little far for me but maybe we could meet up in surfside. Dawn Patrol SUP, I wish I was where you are!

 

Yeah, it aint so bad, still trying to move closer, but it aint so bad for now

 

TS Karen is coming so fill the tanks up and be safe. I don't know if i'm driving to Gorda or just stay in Surfside this Saturday. Looks like we're going to be on the clean side this time.

 

I lived directly on the beach, literally my porch was in the sand, for a good part of my life. Though I loved living at the beach, now that I have to drive 15 minutes to get there I appreciate it much more. Also when you have to drive any distance to get there if the waves aren't perfect you still surf. When I lived on the beach unless it was perfect I didn't go out. I surf more living away from the beach then I did when I lived there. My car also lasts longer now that its not permanently parked in the salty air!

Another thing about having a beach house like that is you can never leave. Everybody always wants to come to your house. Its like running a hotel/bar.

 

I can definitely see how this can all be true. I'm moving East around this time next year but we won't be finding a place directly on the sand, rather just on the other side of the bridge. For various reasons, but being within 15 minutes of any break in the area is just as good to me. I'd still end up driving even if I lived right on the sand because I just can't stand surfing the same spot over and over, i like to hop around and get a variety of waves / scenery, but that's probably because I have to drive there anyways.

 

Texas might have fared better without a drunk ass like sibley commanding troops in the desert. Virginia ate the most shiite. That's why we have so many military bases and government land. Hey gorgia, hanks for the uniforms y'all kept for your boys. Nc thanks do backing us up last minute whe. We got stubborn. Sc, man y'all some hot had mofos. Florida damn it hot down there. Gulf coasters, y'all were wild as s***. Arkansas we needa feed ya. Tennessee wtf they had y'all quick. Seriously wtf like army after army and incompetent leadership. Blamit on Bragg (sorry nc).

Btw, what would the effects of the shutdown b had states rights triumphed? Va is within budget. Don't come pandering to s Cali. Send waves and maybe we can work a deal. He'll y'all can be the new West Virginia as the king originally intended. Everyone get hot act together and rejoin your former
