Back in my windsurfing days it seemed like Doug's Beach(WA side) had some of the better, bigger swells. Also spots further east. Where does everyone kite there?
Been at the Oregon coast camping last two days, wind has been great here and also the waves for perfecting those cutbacks off the top!

I dunno, there's alotta sketchy launches at the gorge , we just stick to the event site there where its sandy

For the gorge event site when the sand is showing at the spit wont catch me launching any other place on the gorge too gusty and too many rocks and I am too old so bad combination for trying that. Oregon coast plenty of safe launch sites. Tried my board in waves for the first time. First time out struggled big time as not used to the surfboard and thought I saw a shark but probably was a sea lion.....

Second time out got it down now ready to charge unfortunately leaving today. Then it will be three months before can use the board again hope these old muscles remember for November winds (blah blah blah) sorry for you guys waiting for the thunderstorms to pass. But don't worry most of you get way more time on the water then us as working in North Tampa as hard to get to the water before dark so most of the year we are on the other side of this so we get to boast for only one week, then get to read all your post for the rest of the time
