When I first started lurking this place I was in high school. I was stoked for the daily reports, the stories, the drama, and the rants. It was the sickest "soap opera" a teen who loved surfing and skating could ask for. It was/is local! I created my account freshman year at Oregon State. I never did post much, just here and there this and that. Made a longboarding (skate) video yall seemed to like. Guy on here, maybe it was fish?..?..explained how my buddies and I could hop on that eastbound train to Newport from OSU with the boards for a free hitch since we were all broke and car-less, sketchy as heck but ill never forget riding that thing quite a few times to and fro.
Missed all winter surf recovering from a hill bombing injury. I'm 26. Have the house, the dog, a job and a 4wd. Went to tend the quiver that has been sitting since November and for some reason I thought about all of the older stories, good and bad times this place has seen. Maybe its all of the chemicals Ive inhaled doing some pretty large repairs or the 12 pack speaking but man, everyone is right about this forum. It's gone. This is the only forum Ive ever subscribed to. Is there somthing I'm missing? have people moved to another local surfing forum or something? Anyways I got the green light to surf. I'm heading to a place Ive tried to get you kooks to surf for a long time. South bar Netarts bay. Hope to get back in the bi monthly grind.
PS... I'm sauced and rambled hard. Really just miss surfing and am stoked to get to do it again. I wish you all the best.
stay salty my freinds
