Trade After-School Screen Time for Surf Time

Backpacks are packed, alarms are set, and school is officially back in session—but summer in Texas is far from over. ☀️🌊

Just because the kids are back in the classroom doesn’t mean lake days have to disappear from the calendar. Texas still has plenty of hot afternoons, warm water, and sunshine ahead. And with our lakes full and ready to enjoy, there’s no reason to call it quits on summer just yet.

So when that final school bell rings, why head straight home to the screens when you could head to the lake?

Make Wakesurfing the New After-School Activity

Football practice, dance, soccer, homework…and wakesurfing?

We think it deserves a spot on the list.

One of the best parts about living in Texas is how easy it can be to turn an ordinary weekday into something the entire family looks forward to. Load up the boat, grab the boards, and head to the water for an evening surf session.

You don’t need an entire Saturday to make a lake day happen. Even a couple of hours on the water after school means more time outside, less time in front of a screen, and more time together as a family.

Wakesurfing also gives kids something new to learn and work toward. Whether they’re getting up for the first time, learning a new trick, or trying to beat Dad’s longest wave, there’s always something to keep everyone entertained.

And let’s be real—surfing sounds a whole lot better than another afternoon spent scrolling.

Texas Summer Isn’t Going Anywhere Yet

Back-to-school season might make it feel like summer is ending, but Texas weather has other plans.

August and September still bring plenty of hot days, warm water, and beautiful evenings that are perfect for boating. Once school starts, you may even find the lakes a little quieter during the week, making after-school sessions one of the best times to get on the water.

This year is even more exciting because our Texas lakes are full and looking better than they have in years.

There’s still plenty of boating season ahead, so don’t pack away the boards just because backpacks are back out.

You Don’t Need an Entire Day to Make a Lake Day

Some of the best lake days don’t have to be planned weeks in advance.

Pack everything the night before, have the kids bring a change of clothes, grab some snacks on the way, and head straight to the water after school. Get a few surf sets in, enjoy dinner on the boat, catch the sunset, and head home.

A normal Tuesday just became something the whole family will remember.

That’s what owning a boat is really about. It’s not only the big holiday weekends and all-day Saturday outings—it’s having the freedom to make the most of an ordinary afternoon whenever you get the chance.
