Windsurfing
Is it just me, or does the wind really blow strong all year round â making Texas a paradise for windsurfing on any of the over 100 Texas lakes or along the Gulf Coast from Galveston to South Padre. Click on any of the following links for more information:

Kitesurfing or Kiteboarding
Wow â this looks like fun! Kiteboarding or kitesurfing is very similar to snow boarding (without the snow) and wake boarding (without the boat) â actually the only real similarity is they both use boards. Take the board, add a giant kite for power and lift, throw in some strong winds, and get ready for a real thrill skimming along the water’s surface, jumping the wakes, and getting some terrific âairâ. Kiteboarding is the fastest growing water sport in the world because of the freedom, fun, and thrill it provides the riders. If you can provide some additional information for Texas Outside visitors, please email us.
