The currents are strong and the waves are big. There were some double overheads last nite growling inches behind. Surfing out there now is to be done with caution and confidence. Sad to hear of these type of incidents. tinyE Since 21 Jan 2006 2004 Posts not really an XTreme Poster Tue Apr 03, 07 7:12 am     registered wrote: Sad to hear of these type of incidents. agreed. this past sunday in PC, the ocean had laid down...flat flat flat... it was kind of wierd. I've never seen it like that here in oregon. there was a tiny beach break that some guys were hitting on a wakeskate using a cable winch system.... and some noobs out on longboards trying out the 1' break.

Otto Mann Tue Apr 03, 07 7:28 am     almost a simular story... i went out to ride the south beach of cresent city yesterday,....north-east winds,...slighty offshore. Next thing i know im out past the waves when the wind dies....im struggling to keep the kite in the air, and every time i try to get up it pulls me further out....oh crap! i had to crash the kite and swim back if anyone has'nt been to cresent city, there's a nice set of waves (beginners...3-5ft) and the beach stays flat for a long time which makes a superb ride for kite buggy'ing.        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
