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!
Well, 2020 shut us down hard in regards to booking charters, as most of our clients come from afar and air travel was at a standstill. We did manage to get in plenty of local charters! We are ready to begin booking again! I can not tell you how many people reach out to us […]
Booking Now for the 2018 Season!
Well, we have had one of the coldest winters on record, with water temperatures in the bay getting into the lower 40’s! With March approaching, the water has finally crept up to 60 degrees and hopefully getting warmer very soon. The beachfront surf season has been lackluster as well, but spring is approaching and booties, gloves, and […]
Booking for 2015 Season!
The 2015 tanker surfing season is here. Water temperatures in the bay are now in the mid 70’s and winds have been very light for spring. We are good to go and ready to take bookings. Get your group together, pick your dates and fill out a booking form> Aloha from Galveston. Capt. Fulbright
What a Great Fall!
Here it is November and the holidays are upon us, but the water is still in the 70’s and winds have remained light. The weather has been great for tanker surfing more so than in previous years. Numerous couples, groups and individuals have been on a tanker surf charter during all of October and interest is […]
Hot Summer 2012
It has been a good tanker season so far, with a couple of exceptions: One-mucho rain and thunderstorms! Dodging bad weather in the bay is an artform all to it’s own! Two- I have experienced major motor problems and I have a brand new $21,000.00 Yamaha SHO! On one charter, the water pump just burned up for no apparent reason which forced me […]
Tanker Surfing Season 2012 Heats Up
It’s only February and while the water temps in the bay are still in the 50’s, and old man winter is still hanging around, we already have charters booked for April. March is wide open! People ask me all the time if there is a season for tanker surfing and typically my answer is yes. […]
Winter takes a break
A rare opportunity arose to hit the bay and run the boat before what will probably be 8-10 weeks of cold, miserable conditions. With the water temperature in the bay being somewhere around 54 degrees, the air temperature today topping out at 70 degrees on a calm, sunny day, conditions were superb! Low and behold, a big container ship […]
The end of an awesome season!
After a long summer of too much wind, not enough rain and no beachfront surf, September and October turned out to be perfect for several groups wanting to catch the wave of their lives! I had several charters in a row that I never blogged about and to them I apologize. Here are some photos […]
