Oregon Wavesailing Trips 2011

@Nanmoo. The longest hill in the world broke my truck -blew a plenum hose and emptied my radiator some of it into my air intake. I made it into GB riding in style with the tow truck driver. Saw PR before the drama though. Riding the way north from Brookings ... Very windy gusts. To borrow a phrase from WD. I peed a little. Made it to the beach where there was one kiter (this was the southern access. Right at the river) Truck fixed in 2 hrs. Staying at Indian Rv for the night (18$)
I may attempt that hill tomorrow or just explore GB until my nerves return.

I'm heading back down tomorrow night. Hopefully sailing Flo on Saturday then to GB for Sunday into next week.

I was going to go back down to Oregon, but then I realized it was shark week. Good luck. I guess that's why WDoc is hitting the lake.

I'm heading down to Gold Beach on August 8th till September. Anyone else planning on making a trip? It'd be awesome to hang out with some other Canadians!

Hey Mike, I may be able to make it during that period.

Is coco still around?

Mike C & 4j - Jellyfish and I will be in Gold Beach until Aug. 6. Too bad we'll miss you guys. Hope the wind continues for you.

4J - Unfortunately Coco passed away. He had a run-in with some sort of wild animal that gave him a good shot to the head and he had to be put down. But hey, gotta say that he died doing what he loved (chasing things that can run!) We loved the little guy and he'll be missed for sure.

Lets keep in touch about Oregon. I'll probably follow the wind wherever it happens to be!

I really like 1014 and 1020. Nice shots! Wish I could have been down on that trip too.

ditto, 1014 & 1020
I also liked 626, the impending douching in 753 while another sails on, RX in 809

Can't believe the long awaited summer in Oregon is already done for me

I may need to go again during....shark month...when's shark week anyway, Nanmoo? Nobody told me and I didn't see any.....I did pass up a killer (haha) day at Neptunes cuz I was without a sailing buddy

the warden there has me concerned always

nice! 803 is good portrait of The Boss.

Thanks for the feedback. It helps me a lot in choosing shots. After over a year of following your sport, I just learned the importance of waves over wind. You are primarily surfers with power.( It only took a 2400km roadie to find out-

)
--> More Force4 I will PM U.
