common things to happen is, well, our sandbars can't handle the wave size.
That is, our coast line sucks, the sandbars are shifty and anything over about
5 or 6 ft just washes through our beaches without giving us much to surf on.
Our solution...jump off the nearest jetty into the deep ship channels. The jetties
help funnel in the waves onto more stable sandbars (because they are protected
by the jetties). While we didn't do any of this in Corpus, the folks down on
South Padre Island did plenty of it during the last dean swell.
After catching your fill of great waves....you have to look for a new challenge;
shrimp boat racing. The guy shown in the pic below (Morgan Faulkner) is one
of the better surfers to come out of Texas...
