Chasing Hurricanes







When you live in Texas it can be a little arduous to get a good day of surfing in, and even more difficult to luck into all the forces to work together to make a stellar day of wave sailing come together. In the summer, as everyone living along the gulf coast dread the arrival of hurricanes, surfers look forward to them. They always come at times that are not convenient for the schedule, so you always have to drop everything and run at a moments notice. 
I made the commitment to chase some swell as hurricane Alex approached the Texas coast and lucked out with a gorgeous day of surfing, kiteboarding and topped it off with an epic session of windsurfing in some of the nicest and biggest waves I have seen along that section of coastline. The fact that all the directions worked perfectly still takes my breath away.
