Snag that used Twig gun from Mollusk? I felt that thing up. The weight was cray.
One session I counted my turns, like said them out loud as I was doing them. I got to like 53 and gave up. I still did probably 15-20 more turns.
I sat with one of the owners moms at a Bday party a few weeks back. We chatted over cake and ice cream. She said they recently either built or renovated a new 5 bedroom house in Waco, and had another one built in Sayulita. They also still have their house in Encinitas. They are doing very well for themselves. No wonder they're trippin'.
Sounds like such a fun trip.

rippahs! So, what boars did everyone think worked best in the pool?
Also, did you run into any of Noel's crew? Asa? Doc? LOL
I did the same thing going to Lemore last 2 years with two under 4. Definitely a good option if you can't pull a real surf trip.
This year went to Salina. Wave pools are fun but was really stoked to get back to experiencing a different culture, food, etc. Then again probably is a similar experience for a Hawaiian going to TX.
The first few years fly by and once they get to kid phase its totally doable to bail on the fam for a week if your wife is cool.
Thanks for the perspective. My wife is undoubtedly cool, so knowing a regular trip is doable is great to hear. I’m fine with the pool for the next few years. It’s fun and I’ve found some amazing food spots in Austin Waco that make it feel like a unique experience.
Noel was in the pool the session before our last private sessions. I would have said what’s up but he exited the pool another way than I entered. I immediately recognized his style when he popped up on a left. He was riding an Akila twin, I think. I’m not positive on who Asa is but Noel had a couple people with him when the exited.
Everybody in my crew thought twins and quads went best, but nearly everybody in my crew was on Daniel Jones twins/quads so that’s probably why. Daniel was supposed to come as his wife is besties with the bachelors wife, but he had to understandably cancel. Nobody in the group liked thrusters eventhough some of them were ocean thruster guys.
I did three public sessions on rental boards. The first session I rode a sub driver and struggled. Had some good moments and my best turn but then I switched to a pj quad and it was miles better.
Also very jealous. It was pricey but damn was it fun. We’ve got family in Houston and Dallas, every time visiting comes up I’m trying to figure out how to get back there.
While the pool isn’t cheap, I don’t view it as expensive. You get so many waves and its so easy to get in the pool and start ripping. Also going out to eat or groceries are so damn cheap compared to Hawaii or Coastal CA, so that makes it a cheaper trip. We are BBQ and tacos and a burger spot and every place was like $20 for an app, an entree and a beer (or comparable). Car rentals are pretty cheap in Austin. Flights to Austin are still pretty cheap imo (Only a couple hundred more than LAX).
If you stay off property, it can be very cheap, but even staying on property can be affordable - the cabins sleep three and are $220 a night. 5 min walk to the pool.
If you compare it to a international surf trip or a snowboarding trip or going to an NFL game, whatever bro trip, it’s comparable or even cheaper.
Planning one with my college friends for October 2024. Gonna try and catch a Baylor football game too - the stadium looks cool.
