WHEN THE SURFERS THINK THE WEATHER IS GOOD... WATCH OUT!

SURFIN' SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, TEXAS

Brazos Santiago Pass... "surfing the channel"... early january of february '83... el nino... it ain't new... it caused more surf stories than you can shake a leash at...

"don't mess with the hand of god"

 

JIMMY ENGLERTH / SEASNAKE : "biggest I ever saw it breaking in the channel, 12-16 foot faces... nobody measured it... i was on a 5'10" twin fin fish... way too small a board for some of the faces... this was the first time i nearly drowned... images pop up... mother nature rules..."
