Yesterday I headed back out to Bob Hall Pier. Met a couple of surfers out there short boarding. I really didn't catch any good waves, the waves I caught I wound up falling off my board. I finally broke down an scraped off the old crusty, disgusting wax off my board. I've had that wax on there way too long, any wax I lay down on top of it just rubs off. After having a frustrating day of trying to surf, I left and swung by Wind, Wave and Surf shop to pick up some more wax. I grabbed a couple blocks of Mr. Zoggs Sex Wax Bumps, but it was a new formula for cold water that was advertised as twice as sticky. I talked to the guys at the shop - really awesome, friendly dudes, by the way - and they gave me advice for surfing down at Packery channel. They also said you didn't want too much wax on your board either.
I headed out around 4 pm today and finally broke down an purchased a beach pass from the Stripes / Valero gas station for $12 to keep things legal and headed out to the south jetty at the Packery Channel. The advice I was given was to get pretty close to the jetty where the waves were smaller and then cut out away from the jetty to catch the larger waves. Conditions weren't all that clean, but there were big waves coming in and I managed to catch and ride a couple decent waves. From there I would catch a wave close to shore and ride to the beach, where I would repeat the process and get back out to the break. All in all not a bad strategy, I wish I would've timed the sets out better to get out further, waves break all over the place out here in Corpus. Anyway, there's supposed to be decent waves tomorrow and this weekend, so I'll see how things are and report back. Also, I'll be adding more pictures once I get another USB cable for my camera.
Until next time.
