Surfing Waves

hey i was wonderin if there are any texas surfers out here on this board, well, anyways, im buying a board next week, and i was plannin on teachin myself, but if theres anyone who surfs at surfside, and wants to help me, then reply back, thanks!

Two people who are in corpus if you want to come down there... Gulfsurfer and I... I won't be there until atleast agust though, he's into logs, and I ride more high volume but don't get what looks cool, get a funboard atleast... PM him or me about it.

Wow, Surfside? I live on DemiJohn island, of course I surf at Surfside. 8D I'm a beginner, as well, or I'd help you. Hm, looking at the date, I guess you've gotten your board by now? If you ever see a chick wiping out on a pink board, you know who you're seeing. xP

Hm, it signed me out before I posted that.

Anyways, do you have MSN or anything? I've been looking for a surf buddy for awhile.. I find surfing solo pretty boring. And my mom refuses to get her lazy self off the beach chair. XP Most of my friends are afraid/not allowed to surf, but I guess it depends on your age.. I'm only 14, but eh. Adieu~

If you're ever in corpus i can help i guess.

... Gulfsurfer and I... I won't be there until atleast agust though, he's into logs, and I ride more high volume but don't get what looks cool, get a funboard atleast...

I just have one log now, my 9ft.
But my new SPD shortboard should be ready in a week or 2 so ill have 1 more to add to my collection, then who knows, i might need another one shaped.

I'm still looking for epoxy for my bonzer, but most likley after that if I can afford it I might be making something around 6'1-2x18 3/4 dimond tail with a concave deck, or a log if I can get a clark blank (my stringer wood only comes in eight foot lengths...) I duno maybe we should have a surfing waves texan surfer beach party, like drive down the beach at sp state beach and find a nice sandbar to surf all day...

no crowds :wink:

building up my quiver... up to I think four boards now but only two have glass and one is a wakesurfer so I guess only two really count. :D

sounds good

i just moved to houston. went to galveston last weekend and it was flat. anyways, im a newbie, and i wanna start surfing. i surfed a few times in costa rica and fell in love with it. im buying a board in a few months, so if any of you in galveston or surfside wanna chill just hit me up. by the way, how crowded is the water in surfside?

Surfside gets packed. I dont ever go there cuz it gets so crowded.
What kind of board are you getting? You should look into getting Steve Pearson to shape you one (SPD) he's in houston. If you didnt want to wait for a custom, Ohana Surf and Skate in Galveston has a few of his boards for sale.

i dont know what kind of board im gonna get. i went and looked around at soundwaves yesterday.. i want a shortboard...and yes, i know, its much harder to learn on, but i've had my experiences with both.

Check out Ohana sometime, they have some local shaped boards there.

what are some examples of good boards, say, 6'2. can u link me to a website or something?

Ive been riding SPD boards(Steve Pearson) for a while now and i love them. You can email him at spd@elride.net
Heres a board hes shaped:

And here are some of mine. The log and shortboard are both SPDs, the fish is an Erie Peeples.

and about how much did that cost you to get that shortboard shaped?

560 with art and vector 3/2 fins, but at ohana they had some shortboards there for around 450 or so.

gulf surfer ...gotta compliment you on that quiver man thatswhat mine should be looking like very soon ...watch this space ...(except for the ver flash looking car behind )

Thanks man. I would have a lot of boards, but ive sold all but those 3 and 1 other SPD shortboard. But this month, once i get paid, i have a feeling i might be getting 2 more SPD shortboards shaped.

nice...ive been busting my arse at workall summer and canjust aford a shortboard

Looking at the dates, these posts are all a few months old, but if there's anyone looking for a surfing buddy in Galveston, let me know. I just took my first lesson a couple weeks ago and got a longboard. Problem is that none of my friends are interested and I don't want to surf alone for safety reasons if nothing else. Anyway, I live in League City and want to start out surfing on weekends, so let me know if you're looking for someone to surf with!

hey man..im terrible at surfing but i wanna learn..so hit me up one weekend when the sea lice arent bad..those bastards tore me up last time. 318 564 8005 my names nick.
