It would be a boat or drift launch. There are some great spots up north in bays and such and some more friendly beginner areas o the coast . windandwaves Since 21 Aug 2009 23 Posts P-town   Fri Aug 21, 09 8:48 pm     how far away are the bays and such? _________________ where is that wind? fredf Since 10 Jan 2009 80 Posts Eugene. Or   Fri Aug 21, 09 9:11 pm     I´d like to know also. Something with shallow water to launch from and land to and no heavy surf. There are some coves off the west shore of the Siuslaw estuary, along the road to the S. Jetty, where I´ve seen windsurfers take off from.
