The time has come again, and we’re now booking for the 2022 season. Tanker surf season runs from June through September due mostly to the wind patterns here on the upper Texas coast.
When wind from any direction exceeds 8 knots, the bay gets far too choppy to not only spot, catch and ride the waves but to keep up with the ships in the chase boat. Secondly, as per the website information, charters cannot exceed 4 people total so keep that in mind as well.
Lastly, your dates should not encompass a weekend and again, as per the website (booking page) charters are booked for a three-day window that falls on either a Mon-Wed window or a Wed-Friday window (weekdays only!)
For future reference, the first thing you need to do is fill out booking forms for each surfer and/or passenger and submit them, so their eligibility can be confirmed (age, experience, medical, etc). No beginners!
No one under 16 is permitted on a charter and no groups exceeding 4 passengers (whether you plan to surf or not). Also, 99% of the time, it is NOT a shortboardable wave! Also, Foil Boards and SUP’s do not fit on the boat or in the storage racks, and I am not willing or able to accommodate standup paddleboard surfers or foil board surfers. Please and thank you.
I still provide drinks, snacks and (long) boards.
I’ve lost count with regards to the number of people who reach out to us with questions that have been addressed already on the site. The booking page is where everyone needs to go to get things started. Most questions will be answered after reading that page or the FAQ page, i.e. scheduling, pricing and the like. It helps to do some due diligence as well as filling out booking forms before anything else.
I look forward to getting you into what will probably be the most unique and longest wave of your life!
