There is surf in Texas, but Oregon or the Carolinas are a little more attractive to me than Texas. No offense intended.
There are way too many RE/surfer dude maggots out in the line-up. They’re somewhat related to the soccermom surf-divas, only more obnoxious and not quite as dangerous and unpredictable to be around. Take it from me, that guy isn’t a surfer, he’s just another a golfer on a longboard. I guarantee there’s something in his Land Rover with a Nike swoosh on it. I have to put up with those guys when I go grocery shopping; it kills me a little every time I run into them out in the water too. I surf to get away from people like that.
As I said, if I wasn’t connected to this area by family and lifestyle I’d consider leaving. I might leave anyway.
