Salt Life

Kris Hopkins is one of Salt Life’s newest team members. Kris grew up on Galveston Island, a barrier island just south of Houston, and, like his father, he grew up surfing. Kris has been a competitive surfer since he was 10 years old. However, South Texas surfers have found a solution to that problem in the form of tanker surfing. Rather than letting the surf come to you, tanker surfing involves chasing the waves created by the massive ships that pass through Houston’s shipping channels. Here, Kris breaks down everything you need to know about getting after tanker waves. bit.ly/TDSTankerSurfing
