Where is a good place to get some wind tomorrow (The 4th). I know the spit is on lock down due to fireworks. But I still need to ride!!

I was thinking about checking out the "former" super secret spot.

Jones is looking good. Manzo might blow too. Do we need to bring an offering of fireworks to the locals at Jones to avoid being run over while rigging? Or maybe some good old fashioned beer Smile

Sunset strip was epic.
Some of the sandbars were throwing good overhead surf on the far outside.

Tami, Josh and I did Iredale to Gearhart.... so good to be riding summer surf.

The gorge came through with solid westerlies, coming out to snag some of those waves, just hard to drive with 3 dollar gas and windy here.

But don't worry, will be there for my share of the rides.

Glad you got it Scott, my fish is awesome Cool looks like you'll be getting it for a few days now.

Summer is GREAT Very Happy

The gorge was good to me on the 4th. Although I did get lofted pretty hard and then dragged down the water - a gust hit pretty hard right in the middle of my jump. All was good though!!

Maybe thats a good sign that she will blow the rest of the summer.

How crowded was the beach? With Kiters? With non-kiters? Any windsurfers Shocked

about 5 kites... lots of sunbathers...

the traffic was really bad, I think because of the marathon deal they were having. It sure paid off to use the road under the bridge.
