Bronson Beach was the label put on the extremely gnarly windsurfing launch by the pilings at the west end of the new sand bar. We would launch there when there was literally nowhere left to park at Swell City or The Hatchery. Windsurfing used to be a big deal in the 80’ and early 90’s. When you launched a windsurfer at that spot you needed to be tough like Charles Bronson.
I vote for Bronson Bar _________________ Have More Fun!

I completely got confused I thought we were talking about the Oregon side Sandbar, even though it clearly states otherwise. Ignore me. _________________ If you're in PDX hit me up, I'm looking to meet kiters in town. I'm close in NW. |

Lewis and Clark named it - "Canoe Creek." In 1841 - Charles Wilkes called it "Cathlatates River." The Indians called it - "Nikepun." |
