Awesome shot Ryan! Takes skill, courage and determination to be in the critical section of one of those unforgiving waves like that!
Trudy has a real tallent and she has a high threshold for what she chooses to shoot, from what I have seen. You should both take it as a complement that you both have been captured in by Trudy!
Safe travels. Sorry to hear you are leaving - I hope you are considering stopping in at Florance on your way north (from memory you scored a great session there last year).
The gorge is a good place to rinse the sand/salt off.
Glad to hear the two masts were the only 'injuries' suffered. After three weeks down there you should sleep for a week when you get home, then spend the second week going through 'Gold Beach shakes' (the adrenaline withdrawl coupled with self-doubt of 'why did we come home').
The good news is you two should have an 'Oregon coast afterglow' strong enough to get you through to the next adventure!
Thanks again for sharing your adventure!
