HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US

On July 4th, the USA turns 233 years old!

On that same day, TEXAS SURF TV turns 1 year old. And with a little luck, there will be a much needed bump or two for us to ride.

We'll be out at Packery for the 4th, celebrating and enjoying the vibe, and hopefully surfing.
As always, I'm sure I'll have the camera rolling...

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY .... SEE YOU IN THE WATER!!!

IMPORTANT INFO FROM SURFRIDER

From Ellis Pickett - Surfrider

In case you missed it, State Rep. Wayne Christian of Center, Texas pulled some old-fashioned Texas midnight politics. Last week he changed the Texas Open Beaches Act (OBA) - the law that guarantees public access and use to our coast and prohibits construction of houses on the public beach.

The fact is, he HAD a front-row house in Crystal Beach that was destroyed by Hurricane Ike. I feel very badly for anyone who lost property in the storm, but everyone knows that a beach house is a risky investment.

Because the beach moves, the OBA was written to make sure there would always be a public beach, no matter where the sand ended up. It's a good law, good public policy, it means there will always be a public beach in Texas.But Rep. Christian wants to rebuild his house on the public beach and he had the power and guile to pull it off.

Texas Land Commissioner and every beach access organization oppose this law. House Bill 770 (HB770) is now on Governor Perry's desk for either his signature to approve or a veto.Please help preserve Texas public beaches.

Call Governor Perry and ask him to "Please veto HB770".They won't ask your name, it only takes a minute.512-463-2000

Better yet, send him a fax 512-463-1849For more info on the bill go tohttp://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/6460265.html

"PACKRATS" OFFICIAL TRAILER OUT NOW

The Official Trailer for Sirfur Productions first full-length surf movie, "PackRats", is out and availible for viewing on Texas Surf TV... Channel 1. (doubles as episode 2 of Season 2 of "The Series...)

This movie is about the locals who surf Packery Channel in Corpus Christi.

"This movie isn't just about surfing Packery. It is also about the vibe." says Director Joe Vulgamore, "Packery Locals are a great bunch who share stoke, waves, beer, cigarettes, and anything else they have... They always make a day at the beach fun for anyone they meet... just a cool bunch who deserve to have a movie made about them."

The release date on this film is still "To Be Determined", but definitely by the end of 2009.

"Yeah, we're still filming right now. We're looking to get the summer storm swells on film... Really show off what these guys can do. Packery is full of under-rated surfers"

Mahalo!
