VLOG: Desal & Disorder



VLOG: Desal and Disorder

By Andrew Foster – Reel Sportswear

When the Sparkling City by the Sea starts running out of water, things get complicated fast.
Between billion-dollar desal dreams, corporate pressure, and locals being told to “cut back,” it’s starting to feel like common sense got left at the dock.

In this first episode of the Reel VLOG, Andrew Foster — founder of Reel Sportswear — breaks down what’s really happening in Corpus Christi’s water fight.
It’s not about politics. It’s about community, fairness, and calling things what they are.

They call it water security.
We call it Desal and Disorder.

🎥 Watch the full vlog above, or check out the sources below to see where the numbers came from.

Featured Gear: Old Timer Coach Jacket — dries fast, looks good, and unlike City Hall, actually works when it’s wet.

What’s this series about?

The Reel VLOG is a collection of unfiltered monologues from Andrew Foster — stories from the coast, small-town politics, and the culture that keeps Texas fishing alive.
No scripts. No sponsors. Just truth, community, and a little salt in the air.
