Why Texas City Tanker Foiling?

Texas City has become world-renowned within the hydrofoil community for its unique tanker-generated waves. Large commercial vessels traveling through the Houston Ship Channel create long-period rolling waves that can provide extended rides and a completely different surfing experience than ocean swell or boat wakes.

The combination of shipping traffic, channel depth, and local geography creates one of the most sought-after tanker surfing destinations in the world.

Perfect for:

Experienced foil surfers
Downwind foilers
Wake foilers
