After months of learning at Grad school + fam + life, I am going to get to the coast this weekend. I have a 3-4 day window and I am hoping it is good! Getting my suit, booties, and maybe gloves this week, and it's on!

I've been looking at the reports, looks like it may be big and windy. :shrug: Since I haven't seen the coast, I'm going to cruise no matter the surf. Bonus if I get in the water. So stocked!! :wave2:

I hear Seaside Oregon is a nice place to start. Locals are super friendly and will hoot you into waves.

Have a friend that works in Beaverton. Said he surfs a couple times a month and loves it. He's originally from Hawaii, but after a year or so he said he got ok with the water. He thinks the water is warmer than SF/Santa Cruz. Tons of surf and he said he often sees and surfs with Gerry Lopez.

:bowdown: for all the replies!

1. The chances of me 'Kaser'ing is nil. Good or bad, there will be no photos of the surf in OR.

2. Growing up, I learned/had pounded into me to be respectful and keep my mouth shut about surfing. Somehow, it is always flat, windy, crowded, sharky, or junky whenever I surf, and I can never remember where I surfed. :shrug:

3. Regardless of size, I will be looking for surf. Of course, only having a 6'6" will limit me :roflmao: Along with the wetsuit, having not surfed for a while... :foreheadslap: Hope the wind is okay!

4. So stocked to finally see the coast. I'm jumping in the water somewhere. And, having a beer or two after!

5. And, after that, going to spend the winter holidays in Bend with the in-laws.

Happy Holidays :wave2:

The buoys that directly measure such things tend to disagree with his assessment.

His assessment also might be influenced by the insane amount of weed he smokes before surfing.
