If Texas had waves I’d be there too.
Ahh, Texas has a long coast line - you see, the ocean around Florida is our ocean, too. :o) Take a look at a map for goodness sakes. There are numerous cities on the coast and jobs available due to well drilling and other services, like oil refining plants.
Here is a trailer for a movie about surfing in Texas, remember that in Texas the water is warm and you can park your car on the beach and camp for weeks at a time, with your guns.
