Bayou City Adventures, Surfside Beach

From its home base in Houston, Bayou City Adventures equips visitors for all kinds of outdoor activities, including stand-up paddleboarding, cycling, and kayaking. And at their second location, tucked inside the Ocean Village Hotel in Surfside Beach, patrons can tag along with a trained surfing pro to learn the ropes in a public or private lesson, or rent equipment to strike out on their own. Two tiers of membership options let participants enjoy a full year of their favorite activities at a discount or for free.
