- Bob Hall is not for the weak hearted, you will get ragged on even if you are the best out there. Best thing to do is take it,shut your mouth, and show your skills.

LOCALS - I WENT TO COLLEGE IN CORPUS. WAVES ARE GOOD. HURRICANE SWELL IS HEAVY. LOCALS ARE GOOD SURFERS BUT ARE SOFT. I RAN THEM OFF THEIR OWN SPOT.
