How'd the landing on the 2nd to last pic go?

Looks like a staylefish to noseplant in 2 foot deep water.

Jealous of the no-wetsuit warm H20---eff yeah!

I'm in San Antonio now until April 15th or so, but SPI is like 4 hours away. Was thinking about making the drive, but TSR is so much closer.

I beg to differ. All those images look bent. Look at the horizons. There is only one that appears to not be terribly fish-eyed

Your are correct, but, if you look at his shin another reference points near the board they dont seem to be distorted.

it does seem like a lot of flex but he is really pressing the tail.

Downsteam's photos really capture the fealing of South Padre Island. Warm water and warm wind. Nice people on the beach. I bet the Roundup will be fun. Sorry I will not still be here. It is great right now. People are saying roundup time should be better. Can't imagine how. The steady wind (compared to the "Gorge) and open, shallow waters are really nice to try an advanced manuver (it's all realative). A great pace to improve. I really think I will not be the moving navigation hazard next season at the sandbar. So, Forest, I am guessing TSR is Corpus? I imagine just as nice. No use to drive farther than needed.
Shallow water? 2 'ft is plenty. It is great. I can be way out in the bay, try some new move for me, crash and stand up in the shallow water and get it back together. No worries about barges ! I will stop now. Fun times.

TSR is a fun cable park, plus they have the giant inflatable beach balls you get inside and roll down the hill in, greatest thing ever!, (as long as they hose the throw-up outta the inside before your run)
