Moto Mouth Wed Jul 04, 07 9:04 am    Beginer spot near the coast? Is there a beginner spot near the coast? I have heard about a big lake near the ocean but far enough away that there are no waves. And is this place blowing today? boredbrain Since 16 Feb 2006 352 Posts Hood River Obsessed Wed Jul 04, 07 9:20 am    The myth exists yes it will be blowing all weekend and it will be crowded. a 7m is not uncommon there. LONG DRIVE. Moto Since 03 Sep 2006 2698 Posts Still a gojo pimp!

Nice long beach and very un-crowded, especially early or anytime on a weekday. Go early, before the wind picks up. I went there on Tuesday with my 13 year old daughter. We went early, about 9. The wind was pretty light at first, so she practiced with the trainer. We set up her 7m and talked about the control bar and went through control and safety options one more time. as the wind picked up a bit more, we did her body dragging, before the water got choppy. Not a solo drag yet, but soon! Kala had a great day and is stoked to go again!

Fri Jul 06, 07 10:42 am    there is some parking at Siletz If you go south past Elmer's Fish House then turn right into that little residential area there is a public bathroom with a few parking spots. You can also park on the street and walk down to the bathrooms. Siletz is great on a low tide. Watch out for the big trees and a pole down wind of the inlet. Great beg. spot! _________________ Hey, I'm being hahahahahrassed!        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
