i saw one of your jumps from my spot about 1/2 a mile away! you were UP THERE, i guess.... i had equipment failure that ended my session right as the winds were picking up.... managed a couple good jumps berfore one of my bindings broke.... it would have been a record session for sure

i didnt feel comfy getting into the water.... and was tired of buggying... was good to meet you aj

good luck with the move

MAn i had such a great session today down at surfside. Wind was blowin abou 18mph all day almost strait out of the south. I was all the way down at the end also so i had about a mile of hard packed runway for me to shredd. Such a session, it was acually my first ever landboard beach session. I dont think i will ever fly any other place now. HAHA Im going back tuesday for sure, (as long as its not storming or if theres no wind of course) EVERYBODY GO !!!!, Dylan ill see you there tuesday. MAn i want a beer.

that bacliff area is the texas city dike.... for surfing only, but PERFECT conditions.... hundreds of acres of waist-deep water and nearly always cross-shore winds... but last time i was there i was stung by a jellyfish... maybe neext time i will be able to stay above water most of the time:embarrased:

Bacliff is spillway park, this is a very tricky launch, rocks oysters and slim on the boat ramp. Do not attempt unless you are an expert rider. During the cold fronts NW this a great spot with 4-5ft rollers. Only a few of the well seasoned rider attempt this spot........aj
