I realize when most people put up a picture it is to represent what the blog is about and this one is no different, so I am sure someone might be confused.(Whoever reads this thing)
It is barely even fall and I already wish it was summer again. I mean don't get me wrong I am loving this weather, it is pretty much amazing, but there is still so many things about summer that can't compare. One of those things is surfing in warm water or if the water is cold at least the beach is hot.
June 1 of every year is like a birthday to me, I get excited when it starts getting near. It is the start of hurricane season! Now I am not some fool who is bent on destruction or people losing everything they own, I am content with a hurricane spinning out in the Gulf of Mexico for a while and then dissolving, but that doesn't happen and it has to go somewhere. In Texas, in the summer, hurricanes = big powerful waves which = good surfing.
All I ever hear is "you can't surf in Texas", in which I have to wipe the "are you kidding me" look off my face and kindly say "yeah, you can."
I owe much of my enthusiasm of surfing to a good friend from Bryan, Texas, who I randomly met in a physics class at Blinn. I have no clue how this guy got into surfing, sorta crazy when you realize that Bryan is 2 hours away from the coast. This guy pumps me up all the time, and is always trying to get me to make crazy trips to the coast, what can I say, when it comes to surfing I fall to peer pressure. Well, this summer he finally got me to make a trip with him. Destination? Jacksonville Florida for Hurricane Bill. We drove 14 hours on a Thursday morning got there surfed 12 foot waves for two days and came back on Sunday stoked, sore and ready for more. That was definitely one of my favorite trips.
But now it is winter...and hurricane season is 7 months away

Yeah man, I feel you. This week in Destin should be cool though as we got a tropical storm headed our way.
