Drove down to Corpus for the potential storm swell in the gulf
Small friday and wasn't going to paddle out. 30 long boarders on the larger slow peak, I surfed the second more inside peak with one friend and we had it all to ourselves. Was comical.
Friend insisted I try his Chemistry D3
Caught a bunch of small waves and had a great time. Might purchase for groveler, highly maneuverable and I caught anything.
Same board, Chemistry D# 5'7" Saturday was small but very dumpy and waist high, got a ton of fun waves.
All the boys were out that I hadnt seen in years, surfed all damn day.
Board hit my two front teeth when I emerged from the water after a fall, hard.
No teeth lost! just bloody gums. Swell still wasn't filling in yet.
Today (sunday) I blew it. Woke up at dawn and sped to the beach and it was pretty big by texas standards, overhead and breaking past the end of Bob Hall Pier. Everyone that's ever surfed within a 500 mile radius was out.
The current was ripping, and I was totally gassed from surfing all day Friday Saturday . sh!t.
This spot normally is dumpier but it was kinda slow and with the offshore winds, very frustrating.
The curent combined with a rip was extremely fast and after 30 minutes I quickly got sucked out really far.
I was thinking fuck I need to catch a bigger set wave to get further in, caught a biggun but couldnt barely turn without getting sucked up the face. Wind was killing me and the wave wasnt throwing like it should.
Washed up like a drowned rat way down the beach.
Should have stayed but left around noon. Kooked it on the day of the year.
Kind of disappointed but it happens, ill take 2 fun days out of three.
On the HPSB today.
Was wishing I had that extra foam for the large amount of water moving.
Also saw a lot of frothing newbies on wavestorms with go pros paddling out and getting mercilessly wrecked, it was buck wild.
