Another fun day! When I saw the downgraded forecast last night I was a bit worried but things worked out nicely. Felt like a reunion at the beach today, great to see so many windsurfers out, including Jordan! Great to see you out bro! Some nice waves again, fun jumps and rides!!!

3rd epic session this week at 3rd Avenue. All on 6m+surfboard (Tue included a 5m).

First on the water at dawn in the dark at 7:45am on 8m+surfboard then quickly switched to 6m in SSE 25 gusting 30. Ramps sharp and waves sweet early mornng but got progressively disorganized with flooding tide. Constantly, got pummelled breaking waves closing out. Otherwise, a fun session dodging logs on the shoreline and a great workout.

Exhausted by 11:30 so called it a day :D

First fall windsurfing day for me. Started at 9am few people were out on 4.0, decided to rig 4.2 as well. Was overpowered after 1h sailing got tired and rigged down to 3.5. It was much better. Waves were great today, good steep ramps for jumping.
At some point wind dropped, switched to 4.2, went out and it was too much again.
Should of stayed on 3.5 all day.
Nice to see so many windsurfers out.

Yup, great day to finally get back on the water. Took out 4.0/85 from 930 to 11. It was a one sail, one board, no breaks, ton of fun. Awesome to see the windsurfers outnumber the kites and wings by a big margin too!

About 20 polesmurfers attended today's spooktacular. The Great Goblin delivered the sugary Halloween wind and swell. The Oregon Coast crew showed up for a reunion too.

Another great day on the water, what a week:) fully powered on 4.0/89ltr the whole time, really nice waves the first hour in the morning but got quite mushy and disorganized as tide was coming in.

Half pipes. Rain, colder air, stronger and longer wind than forecast, organized wave-like wind swell and big weekend turnout. Fun day!
