Columbia Pioneers - Tanker Surfing

Meet James Fulbright, Peter Davis, and John Benson, Pioneers of Tanker Surfing. To these men, its not the motion of the ocean. It is, in fact, the size of the boat that matters. Galveston Bay can go weeks without waves. So these surfers ride the wakes of the massive tankers instead. While never overhead, the waves go for miles. Were proud to call these resourceful surfers Pioneers of the Greater Outdoors and award them with the Gert Boyle Medal of Merit (M.O.M.). Learn more about them, their sport, and their gear at columbia.com.

Riding a two-mile wave under the Texas sun gives these guys ample time to get sunburned. But with our Utilizer Crew shirt with Omni-Shade fabric, they can avoid harmful UV rays as easily as they avoid oncoming tankers.
