OREGON SURF CULTURE/WINTER VS.SUMMER
Easily as gnarly as Mav's and located a mile offshore. Check out the background wave with just the Crest feathering. 10 feet of white water on that Crest. Nelscott Reef, early November, 2010.
Check the ski and the person being towed behind it.
NELSCOTT parking lot. Great place to have lunch.
This is why it's called Oregon's Waikiki. Mid afternoon on a Wednesday, July 21, 2011.
Every headland/point has a deep and protected bay on it's south side. It provides small surf, calm seas, miles of wide beaches and warmer temperatures.

OREGON WOMEN WHO SURF # 2
Tackle Buster Reef beach break
YES, There are more women surfing in Oregon than I've seen anywhere else but what's grabbing my attention is how they are getting there.
iphone photos: Otter Rock
There's thick skin and then.............
THERE IS THICK SKIN!
This gal has the surf mobile to beat all the rest. She carries a kite board, wind surfer, 2 S.U.P's (one long and one short) 2 longboards and 1 short and travels from Baja to British Columbia and rides them all.
