Brazos Island
Boca Chica / Brazos Island is a wild and underdeveloped spot at the extreme south of Texas, on Boca Chica beach, facing the Gulf of Mexico. It is a spot favored by experienced riders for its isolated setting and very open environment.
The area is known for the current at the pass and for the proximity to the SpaceX Starbase launch site. The atmosphere is simple, but the conditions require experience and a good understanding of the water surface.
