Back from a long hiatus.
I despise any wave riding that require handles, jet-skis, paddles or lying prone.
In the water I am a conservative, redneck, caveman.
Out of the water I'm a bleeding heart, lib that fights injustice in it's many forms (unless it means I have to get off the couch).
I ride a log in waves under chest high, but I hate myself for it later
I skate way more than I surf, thanks to the Pacific ocean going basically flat down here for the past few months.
I grew up in southernmost LA county, surfing breaks that will not be named here.
I spent my formative years waxing windows, deflating tires, fighting with OTs, and generally being an a-hole to anyone who didn't grow up within a 10 block radius of my home break.
Followed the Dead around the west coast for a couple of tours.
Lived in the Central Coast of Oregon for a minute. Left before Lincoln City skatepark got built.
Got stoned with deaf paul at Burnside a month ago.
I love yoga and puppy breath

What's up everyone? Just moved to the Portland area from Arizona. While in AZ, I made the quick trip to San Diego quite a bit to surf. By no means am I a pro or even an intermediate surfer, but I can ride when conditions are good enough. That being said, what is the best spot for me to go? I have read a little on Indian Beach, Short Sands and Cannon. What's the best place for a beginner type?

San Diego is probably still your best bet.

Uhhhhh, I am new to these forums, And hoping to make some motherfucking friends to surf with. I am a desert transplant (kook) with a love for the water, and all things connected. I have been in the Lincoln City area for around a year now. So, if you f@*ks aren't too busy, I would enjoy a hate infused response...

Hate filled response: "Beat it, kook!" Ummm, yeah. Good luck man. This place isn't too active. You'll make 'friends' the first time you paddle out on a soft-top at your local beach break, guaranteed.

Oh no, no soft-top for this kook, picked up a Northwest surf designs shaped by S. Rowley. I have actually been somewhat accepted- for now, as I am well versed in etiquette... Just a little too kooky, nobody wants to befriend the kook. Well, thank you for the response Squid. Ill keep beating the bushes. NEED A SURF FRIEND GOD DAMNIT!

I would have to agree on SD, just got three days down there, they get sun and waves year round, really a mellow bunch of surfers.

RE Shapers- have been getting custom local WA/OR shaped boards for the past 15 years but on my last trip to Costa Rica met some guys riding Oak Foils boards. Wayne Okamoto (CA) used to ghost shape for Al Merrick back in the day but now only does custom work. The last four boards I have gotten are from him are absolutely sick.

Hey. I recently moved from the East Coast, NY/NJ area.

Getting skunked after driving 1.5 hrs from Portland sucks.

If anyone is interested in sharing rides and the responsibility for correctly deciphering the forecasts, let me know.

Surfing Highlight When Not Actually Surfing: Saw Slater and Taj compete in the quarter finals at the only QuickPro on Long Island. Just ridiculous.
