SW WIND 20 TO 25 KT WITH GUSTS TO 30 KT...EASING. WIND WAVES 5 FT...SUBSIDING. W SWELL 9 FT AT 12 SECONDS.
I always edit Surf in Oregon reports...
But, ultimately...
It all comes back to the same point for me...
Where I started and where I got...
I'm not the best surfer...
Nor the worst...
I like short boards...
And the long ones...
(Mebbe a bit more the long ones)...
But the heart of the matter...
For me at least...
Is keeping the act of surfing...
Effortless and enjoyable...
Which, sadly, for me...
Has been hard to achieve of late...
Between an injury and physical distance...
I want to keep the stoke...
But also battle being the downer of late...
So all of you out there...
Geting a few here and there...
Help me out...
And tell your tales here...
Unless...
Of course...
It's as I've always said...
There's no...
Surf in Oregon.

I feel your pain. When the swell is right, MY time is wrong. When I have time the surf is cold, fickle, and sharky.
Its all good man, you'll get back into it!
what's yr injury Doc? getting crazy with the MMA?
I too hear you loud and clear. 8wks off a fractured ankle. Patience with injuries is tough. I shaped 2 boards and I managed some prone sessions hobbling down to the water line, taping up and leaving the soft cast on the beach. Maybe not the smartest idea but the doc said "ice" and it did wonders to clear my head and just glide. Really, I just needed to be in the ocean (or at least outside) feeling part of the world. Heal up, stay stoked.
Always saw you as the king of valley stoke. But I understand……. PDX the hipster shithole it is will suck the stoke right out of ya. That said, last week was pretty damn good. I was lucky enough to have taken the week off. Not a lot of options locally with a real swell in the water other than the obvious, but Wed was worth fighting for.
