Stole this from FB and thought I would share. Nice size wake for an empty tanker on Galveston Bay.

This looks so fun!  towing in I assume?  Do you know if it might be possible to paddle into this?

Yes, you can catch them paddling. When the super tankers are loaded and blazing down the ship channel, the wake can jump up to overhead when it hits the shoals.
