For Episode 1 of WEEKENDS ON THE WATER we broadcast on location from the very impressive Jetsurf Houston triple booth smack dab in the middle of the country’s largest indoor boat and travel show, 65th annual Houston International Boat, Sport & Travel Show at Houston’s NRG Center. We started off visiting with Houston International Boat, Sport & Travel Show president Kenny Lovell and previewed what guests could look forward among 700,000 square feet of exhibit space and 1,500 boats and RV’s on site at the show ranging from access to hundreds of industry experts, special deals, family activities and returning favorites including the Fish-O-Rama kids fishing experience, the 4,000-gallon Bass Tub and the Kid’s Build-A-Boat attraction. This year’s show also features plenty of new activities including a craft beer garden, kid’s casting clinics and even special visits from Houston Astros mascot Orbit from 1-2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Then we dove into the next generation of extreme watersports that has arrived in Texas bringing an option for those looking to surf but un-able to find any waves to catch, JetSurf. JetSurf is a lightweight, carbon-fiber, motorized surfboard capable of attaining speeds of 37 miles per hour. Think personal watercraft crossed with a wakeboard, a skate board, add a hint of dirt-slinging, engine-buzzing motorbike, and then multiply it with the understanding you can carry it on your back and take onto a plane to use on vacation.
