Hello OSP
My name is Sylas but my friends call me Spent. Don't ask. Anyway, I gave surfing a good go for two whole years. The two years I surfed, surfing was still pretty relevant and cuttting edge but now I've moved on. Its just not that exciting of a sport anymore. Too many kooks trying to ride like Slater. They just need to chill and shape their own boards with some float and enjoy the vibe. 'Dudes,' completely missing the essence of what it is to be a surfer.
Where's the cyclo-cross forum anyway? I'm thinking of moving from Corvallis to Portland to start a frame-building business or perhaps a coffee roasting operation. Thoughts? Thinking about SUPing on the Willamette also. Might be something cool to do when the snow season finally ends. Wow, what a season, eh?! I've been waist deep in pow for weeks on end. So rad. Really, just like surfing, if you think about it. Go on, think about it. You probably missed out. Unlucky for you.
Anyway, I thought I better introduce myself as I just ordered a hand-plane from Thalia surf and a new Matuse wetsuit, so I'll probably need the occasional ride to Short sands or Seaside from NE Portland.
Can anyone reccomend a neighbourhood that was once ghetto and occupied by minorities but was cleaned up by young white artist types and has now been made completely safe and sanitary by white families from California loooking to buy first homes ? Be nice if there were a few Blacks and Mexicans still there, just to keep it a little bit real.
If you don't like good music and good coffee, don't bother PMing me to offer me a ride.
