Here are a few videos of surfing behind the boat.

No, it is not Pipeline... more like Doheny, but it is a lot of fun!

California to TX

My wife and I moved to Texas a year ago for a new job. Austin is a cool town, kind of a California vibe, the people are kind, and the cost of living is cheap. However, May got really warm, June was unbelievably humid, July was disgusting and August unbearable. I was at the point of quiting my job and moving back to southern CA, where the friends are great, the weather is always nice, the surfing is nearby, and housing is well, rediculously unaffordable.

Then... some friends brought us out on their boat at Lake Austin. Our attitude changed -- we could stand living here in Austin, we just needed a boat to enjoy the water (and get refreshed from the heat).

My wife was very supportive of the idea as she knew I was miserable being so far from friends, surfing, and decent weather.

So we went to the boat show in Austin in January and walked out the owners of a new Malibu V-Ride.
