Hit the Pit last weekend–Saturday.  Rolled out with Clem/Bjones, met up later wit PK, Trav, Clark.  Jetty was impressively unsurfable.  Groins was a mess of current and chop.  And sticks.

The Cove was choppy, but working.  It was really choppy for how dead the wind was.  Bout an hour later it cleaned up and got kinda glassy.  Then the sun came out.  Ayo!  Everything was perfect, except for the fact that i can’t surf the Cove for shit.  The Cove hates me, but i keep comin back for more.  I went over the falls a handful of times.  Scary and lame.  Managed to surf a couple sessions of gnar unscathed though.

At about 2 the Groins turned on, chop turned off.  At that point i had no paddles.  So bummed.  PK teard it up.  I got a front row seat on the end of the jetty.  Sunlight was hitting the waves just right–made for some rad looking stuff.

Fun day.

A few years back myself and a few friends set out to surf Westport.  We all met up at Southcenter, 6am, coffees in hand.  Standard.  One of the guys (who i’ll nickname ‘Mateo’) wasn’t feeling too well, and was sipping on some orange juice.  Figured it’d help him feel better or something.

We piled into one car and hit the road, arriving at Westport a couple hours later.  The Cove was kinda working and so were the Groins.  We split up.  Mateo and another guy at the Cove and myself and the fourth guy at the Groins.  I guess the cove wasn’t working too well since Mateo and the other bro joined us out in the line up shortly after.  The surf wasn’t bad and we all were enjoying the junky waves we were getting.  Not too many people out either which is rare.

After about a half hour i noticed Mateo paddling in.  Weird, i wonder he’s going, i thought.  Maybe another half hour later i noticed Mateo sitting on the rocks in his street clothes.  We pretty much had just started surfing, there were waves and not a lot of dudes out so why would he be bagging it already?

The three of us that remained surfed about an hour more and then called it.  The tide was high so it made for a bit of a tricky exit on the rocks at the Groins.  Right as i was getting out Mateo came over to me and excitedly said ‘dude, you gotta come check this out!’ and started (more…)

A month ago i wrote how i’d heard that there was a shark sighting in Westport by a bunch of people. At the time i thought it to be a bunch of bull shiz but later heard from a legit source that it was indeed legit.

Below is an email i received from a friend who actually saw the shark.

“Hey man,

I’m not sure what to say on this one as I still don’t know what to think. I have always thought of W-Port as the Shark free zone of the NW. Living and surfing in Oregon for years, I always knew that there (more…)
