Pacific City, Oregon

This weekend, we decided to take the drive down to Pacific City down on the Coast here in Oregon, for a spot of cold water surfing.  The weather was sunny, the water was freezing, there were dogs and cars everywhere.  I'll endeavor to do a better job of explaining below.

The drive out in the morning was pretty damn early and so black and white was kind of how I felt.

The European crew getting at it, Ami, Finnish man getting ready to suit up, or vice versa.

This is something new to me, needing to wear boots in the water, because its so damn cold.  Its super fun surfing out here though but damn chilly so you need the boots, gloves, hood to get out at it.

As you can see though the waves are worth it, so its definitely good to get down there.

Like I say…. Dogs. They run that place, and drive in the back of cars.

The scenery here definitely reminds me of Wales, with rolling hills straight into the sea.  This one almost has a sand dune from the sahara at the side of it ready to go.  You won't believe this, but there was even one kid with a palmer snowboard going up to do some sand boarding out there.

On the beach, in Oregon it seems its ok to park on the beach, so everyone just goes full on for it.  This guy had an amazing car which becomes  a tent and then back again.  Amazing contraption, with surfboard rack under neath also.  Ingenious.
