I vote that we keep it as-is.

We have a location at Crystal Beach that has proven to be PWC friendly, with Penguin's place as a home base and plenty of other houses around that are inexpensive to rent. And I dont think we need to be exposed to a large spring break crowd. IMO, we would either be lost in the crowd and/or hassled by the law for riding in a crowded area.... (not a problem at CB.)

And frankly, I don't want to drive any further. As it stands now, Pismo is only about 200 miles further from my house, total... and the surf is much better. Make the Texas ride further away and I'm less likely to go.

And one last thing... I vote for the same weekend (approximately) as last year. St. Patricks day March 16-17-18. I have other commitments the weekend of the 24th-25th so that is definitely out for me.

South Padre is about as far south as you can go in Texas.
The water is blue, the swells are consistent, and the girls look better.

I'm all for it, but we have out of staters to consider. It's a 6 hour drive from my house alone.

Yeah, I think S. Padre will be out as the crowds and law enforcement will be too much of a problem.

I am looking into an area just south of Corpus. I will keep you updated.

I wouldn't mind seeing some different scenery, prettier water and bigger waves, but if it means that some people don't come, then I'm fine with staying in CB.

Exposing what we do to spring breakers (I know... its been done!) could be a good thing.

That's OK as long as more of the spring breakers expose themselves to us.... :purr:

corpus would be my vote....fewer annoying spring-breakers, warmer water, and more access to hotels that are closer to the beach, and no fairy rides....lots of benefits...I'm from Texas and Corpus is my vote......:biggthumpup:

any place but where it was last year.... Sorry to sound negative, but that place sucked!!!! Nothing there but rednecks and dirty ass water... I'm only posting this, cause you asked... A good friend of mine is from CB area and he said Corpus was 1,000,000 times nicer...

Hmmm, I just looked at the map and it turns out the Corpus is 30 miles closer than Crystal for me. And I would not have to drive thru Dallas or Houston. Gonna have to reconsider now...

Is there a specific site in Corpus that will host the non-event for us there? Somebody local needs to check into that SOON if we want to move the ride.

don't mess with the poll

if someone wants to coordinate a Corpus ride - go right ahead and do it. I am not familiar with the area at all. Beach access, hotel availability etc will need to be scoped out and SOON (like yesterday)

The only way the poll can be changed is if someone changes their mind. The poll is to provide feedback and is not a vote. As such, to convey accurate data I would consider allowing a 1-time change in a vote. With accurate counts of who prefers what, a decision can be made. As it stands, we are 62% CB.

I will in no way go willy-nilly and modify votes as I see fit.

Like I said, this is to see if there is interest in moving it this time around. If there is not, there is no reason another ride cannot be made for those who want to see if there is better surf to be found in Corpus.

Agreed, and thats kinda what I was getting at as well... may be too late to change venues anyway.

You should know (you're the man!!)... there is a ton of work getting a venue at a beach resort area secured - among other issues...
