Been eyeballing this funky wave just west of BirdSh*t Island and today Marky Mark and I decided today would be a good day to check it out.

Did a little downwind inspection run from the Event Site to Mosier and found some wicked fun spots to park and play on our way down.

Got to the funky wave section above Birdsh*t and discovered that is was about a 100yd long sandbar under about 3"-12" of water. Pretty cool except a little scary with the voodoo winds.

This was high and dry last week at times. By "high & dry" I mean about 3" above the waterline.

Pepi,

Yeah, I took a lunch time session out of Rock Creek and kited up to it... Very weird, and the wind was cranking! Scared silly on my 7m at times...
