University of Texas at Surf Camp #1 2008

Never say Never, I gave up guiding after sinking the Sea Cow this winter. However Eliot Howard Associate Director of Outdoor Pursuits at the University encouraged me to continue. So we had a fabulous weekend of surfing. 10 students came down, Allen being trip leader, his second or third year at surf camp, he wore cut off jeans for surf pants, and you know he is a native texan. Friday before students arrived, I surfed some 12 foot bombs, didnt go out alone but surfed with a friend Vern from Hawaii. During the weekend we had superb weather and fine waves for the students on the inshore break, nice reliable sets of 3 to 4 feet, water temp 72. I changed the Saturday night menu, i could not eat any more vegetables and sausage, so now it is Shiskabobs, boiled corn on the cob, new potatoes boiled in sea water, and spanish rice. I signed a contract with Nueces County Park after 8 years of getting by. So hope things continue well this season as Tide Guide is Booked solid......
