Texas
USA, Gulf Coast
One of the most underestimated places to surf on Earth! Holds regular swells during the winter with the help of coldfronts, summers leave texans longboarding or praying for hurricanes/tropical storms.

You know what? - I'm totally cool with letting these cali kooks think there's no waves in Texas, more room for the true surfers.

travelling surfer in US and Canada - Hey, im an aussie in toronto canada looking for a wave break. i have friends in texas in Houston who I plan to visit in the next few months. I see there is definitely some surf to enjoy, but whats the deal with the shark situation?
SA in aussie is pretty worrysome for them.
Catch you at them.

- Im a Cali surfer and Ive lived all over and I know for the most part the surf is what uyou make of it when I lived in North Carolina I dropped my shorty for a long board and had a great time. All I got to say is I take the waves I get and I am happy to have them big or small if I'm in the water I'm stoked. Please don't let some negative stuff from Cali make you think that all Cali surfers are stuck up because surfing is more than where you are from and I'm lucky to have had the chance to surf three coasts and I've never been let down.
