Flysurfers Unite !!!

we go to SPI every year in November, but this year we're planning on doing the Roundup May 3 -5, but i'll probably be there afew days before and afew days after for 6-7 days total

we usually stay in the cheap cabanas and BBQ all week. they run $40 per day and sleep 3 , with shower, kitchenette, fridge, ac unit, etc. and the beach is right out front.

who's gonna come-on-down ?

2013 SPI Kite Round-UP / May 2-5

Also, some killer deals on lodging right now in SPI if you dig. Prices seem to fluctuate like a roller coaster from day to day, but my Better Half locked into a sweet deal for a couple nights. We were going to book the Cabanas at Isla Blanca, but for ~$35/night we got a real room [Super 8 thru Southwest Airlines, yada, yada]. BTW, Sun thru Thurs rates are usually half of what weekend rates are.

Oh that really sucks. Completely ruptured or a partial tear. Surgery? If you need something let me know. I might need some lines soon. Maybe you will have some time.

Here's a video from Thursday when the north front came through. ATX crew in the waves just north of the jetty.
