thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will stop in Bandon as it breaks my trip up the best. What about Floras Lake? Is that a nice spot to ride? I'm looking for somewhere where my car will be safe and that allows dogs. Don't think I'll camp unless I have to... but looks like many of the hotels up there do take dogs...
...yes I'm the Marina from ikitesurf:-)
Thanks again to everyone and hope you get some wind soon! It's been 7m weather and sunny here in California but still need the 5/3 wetsuit!

Floras is a great flat water spot to ride, make sure you bring a leash for the dog, they have birds nesting around the lake and get a bit worked up when they see dogs running about. Here's a good link for floras. Have fun!

| It usually blows from the NE. That's what you want. Soesn't really work from the south. Appears that you'll be looking good for this weekend. |

northerly's are ideal, most people wont even go out there if it isnt north winds. i've try'd to ride out there during south winds but its way gusty...i think the low/high wind variable was up to 25 mph!
there is a lot of open area to launch @ floras, but its best to stick with north side(upwind).
when are you going out? i'm going to be there friday till sunday. |

| Thanks I'm considering making the drive from Portland this weekend. without the sandbar there aren't many good options for noobs around here. Sauvies is a little hectic with all the traffic and i'm not sure it'll turn on this weekend anyway. i'll post if i'm heading down John K |
