BigWaveDave Wavesailing Camp
When: June 27 to July 5 and July 18 to August 3
Where: Hopefully on the Oregon Coast!!

Join the BWD crew as we tour Oregon. See the scenic towns of Bingen, Arlington, The Dalles, Florence and Oceanside.

Follow the BWD crew around in the eco-caravan, learn how to sleep in until 10am, hang out at the coffee shops until 1pm, then sail, then eat and drink, then repeat. Enjoy the soothing and soft blowing sand at the Florence Jetty and swim with the dolphins. Tour the fine establishments of Jacks and Jaxs, and enjoy the night life of Bingen.

Sign up early for these benefits: front row parking at the gravel pit and horse camp, hands on instruction (well not really, but I'm sure someone will tell you what you're doing wrong), and get your picture taken riding the latest '09 gear:

Learn dietary tips from team nutritionist RD, including potted meat in a can and meat cookies. And did I mention the bonding? See what two weeks on the coast can do for you:

Dates: June 27 to July 5
July 18 to August 3


Where: first choice Florence/Oceanside/Pistol/Cape S., second choice the Gorge...

Who's in? Spaces are limited so sign up early!

Here are some videos to increase the stoke:

I wanna ride '09 gear too! I'm in for the second trip. I'll bring the flowers for "Shadow's" memorial at the Horse camp. First round of Pabst Blue Ribbon is on me :P

I am extremely busy with work that time of year BUT I'm trying to get more balance in my life, and I'm desperately trying to improve my skills in "my" sport...soooo...I'll try to make it to the BWD camp this year, at least for a few days. Maybe I should combine this with the loop challenge. Are there prizes? I'll bring my cameras. Perhaps a video camera too? I think we need more GoPro cameras!

So - Is a 3.8 small enough for the OR coast trip or should I look at a 3.4? I'm all of 2 kg heavier than BWD! Planning for the second trip as first clashes with daughter's B'day!

Mmmm - freedom day - May 7th!

probably but you are a birdman....well, last time down we got blown off the water 5 out of 7 days if I recall, Eastdood with his 3.7 and me on the 4.2. I guess you can start earlier being lighter :twisted: Oh, but wait, the KA Kaos goes from 3.7 to 3.3, not 3.4 Geoff :idea: :wink:
