CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Surfers were catching a big wave Friday afternoon. Not out on Padre Island, but at Hurricane Alley Waterpark where a surfing competition took place.
The park's surf simulator, which is called "The Shredder", was where everyone was making a big splash. A lot of prize money was on the line.
First place took home $1,000, second place took home $500 and third place surfed away with $200. The surfers were judged on how smooth, fast and creative their ride was before they wiped out.
