Really interested in seeing your surfers wearing wetsuits – I thought it was only Scottish surfers that had to wear second skins lol

Scott, that is funny! I was just on the Texas Gulf Coast over the St. Patrick’s Day weekend and saw surfers in wet suits too! I guess it’s a matter of what they’re used to!?

Many thanks to you, Ella! All of these beaches look really wonderful! I don’t surf (yet) but I certainly do love watching surfers ride the waves!
