Tanker Surf Season 2026
We are now booking charters for the 2026 season! Typically, favorable conditions occur from June through September. FYI-favorable conditions are primarily wind speeds less than 8 knots sustained. It’s all about wind speed and not wind direction. Wind kills the tanker waves and also makes it difficult, if not impossible for the boat Captain to […]

Now Booking for the 2023 Season! A lot has been going in preparation of the 2023 tanker surf season. My truck was down for over two months and then the boat has been down for nearly that long too. We have yet to do a recon or run a charter and it’s nearly June. There […]
Now booking for the 2022 season!
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 […]
Now Booking the 2021 tanker surf charter season!

Now Booking for 2017!
It’s getting to be that time again. The 2016 tanker surf charter season netted good conditions nearly all summer long. We had groups coming all the way from Hawaii, California, up and down the East Coast of the U.S. and even American Samoa. Even though there were constant closings of the Houston ship channel due […]

Book your charter window today!! Remember-intermediate to advanced longboarders only need apply. Aloha and pray for light winds and […]
