Celebrating World Surfing Day

Since I live in a land locked area of Texas, I usually celebrate World Surfing Day by going online and looking at all the great surf people get to enjoy around the world. Every now and then the wind will coincide and at least I can go windsurfing or kiteboarding and get my surf that way. This year with all the rain from Tropical Storm Bill the Trinity River has come up again and I got to enjoy the day, standing on a board, surfing a wave, that I actually paddled onto. It may be in a river and the water may not be salty but it was real surfing and I had a blast.

Surfing!

On a River!

Endless Waves

   Amazingly, the water is still running high on the Trinity River after a week and the daily surf sessions continue. I had company today with Tom Pennington and a few other kiteboarding friends making an appearance for a great morning of endless waves.
