Padre Island.... best water sports locations????

[Kelso]

We are headed to South Padre Island over July 4th weekend. Staying in a waterfront condo with a dock for the boats/skis. I've never been, and my sister in law that has been tends to believe we can wake board in itty bitty coves, where essentially as soon as one is up on the board its time to turn the boat around.

So, does anyone know of good canals or large coves around Padre or Corpus Christie Bay that we can have lots of room for our water sports but be out of the choppy waters/wind?

All I can say is be careful. Those bay areas have some seriously shallow water. I have not boated down there, but I know this from fishing for Reds and Trout down there with paid guides. The boats they run are flat bottom and made for the waters. So if you are in the bays and inner coastal I would not get out of the marked channels.

Yeah, my dad fishes Baffin Bay every year, I know it gets shallow and rocky. Luckily I will be there with another boat that goes every year that knows the waters, but where they do watersports seems like too small of an area for wakeboarding.
