Weekly Wave fix......

Here's another video of some really fun surf. It was glassy and I was the only one out. In fact, Ive never seen anyone out here. If it were 2 feet bigger, this place would be amazing. I did get in on a few head high set's that walled up really nice.

My sticks...

These bad boys have gotten me throught the roughest and the sweetest moments in my life. If you have plans on stealing my boards, you'll have to get past "Vince", my watchdog first....

Pacific City Rocks





Yesterday, Ant and I went to Pacific City not expecting much. We were heading to Indian until we got a call from a friend telling us Indian was tiny. So as we rolled up into the hundreds of tourists, and of course it looked tiny from the parking lot. We did notice however that way south of the Resturant there looked like some decent size bowl up sections. As we got closer, it got bigger. As we paddled out, there were some amazing overhead bowl up glassy sections we had to paddle through. I caught some long "weaker strenth" rights and a few big drop powerful lefts. It was one of the great summer sessions I remember so well from last Summer. As the day got later, the wind picked up and the swell died down. Now is the time to get out if you love "Fun" surf. All week it's gonna be around 5 feet........see you out there!

Surfing the Willamette

Why Portland Rocks.

Not to defer from Surfing too much, I just want to give a shout out to P-Town. So I went out last night, the first time in months. We ended up at a club in SE Portland around Burnside and 5th somewhere called "The Bus Depo" or something. Anyway, as I stumbled my way through the crowd of 23 year olds, I realized something. The Fashion in SE is "Whacky" to say the least. I composed a list of a few things you need to be considered cool in SE.
1.) a full sleeve of tattoo's
2.) an old ten-speed bike with razor thin tires
3.) a lesbian friend
4.) become a vegan
5.) Have a Masters degree educated in microbrews.
Anyway, the fashion was awesome, Just plain Goofy. Not pretention, Just Goofy.
The club was playing 40's dance music and everyone was having a good time.
I was mentioning to my friend how if you wanted to dress up fancy and go out, all you have to do is cross the River and go into the Pearl or NW. And even more upscale, go Downtown. We have it all here. What ever mood your in, you can find somewhere in Portland. Not to mention one of the best Music and Beer Scenes in America (not to mention the Surf). Portland rocks.

Surf Fog




Last weekend I paddled out at Pac City around 7 p.m. There was one guy out. The sun was faint in the distance, and the fog was out in full force. I think the fog was keeping alot of people out of the water. The waves were shoulder high and super clean. Mostly close out sets but once in a while a nice right would come through. Alot of guys don't like the fog. It creep's them out, and is definitley dangerous in bigger surf. But there's always clean surf with fog. Wind blows the fog out. So if there's fog, there's usually no wind. It was amazing to be past the break, with a few friends, as the sun was going down, in a very surreal environment of thick fog. I could see the blur of a campfire on the beach. The water was relativley warm.....Surf Fog is a good thing.
