I'm contemplating a trip down again next week (~July 27-31) to check out that South swell, with Gorge before and after. Anyone else?

I'm off July 27- Aug 1. I can repel everyone away so there are plenty of waves to catch. :shock:

8) I'll be in the Gorge this Sat/Sunday then hopefully head to Gold Beach Sunday pm or Monday. It'll be lonely at the DQ and I'll feel sick if I have to eat an entire ice cream cake by myself.

Aargh... 0.76 vs USD is really putting a damper on me deciding to join you... Especially after I saw the conversions on my last CC bill.

Yes Moo the exchange rate sucks.
Dave. As much as I'd love to try the coast again and the thought of spending time one on one with BWD would be a dream come true... Priceless! Unfortunately for me a friend is up island for a short visit from Australia and I'm gonna have to pass on Oregon part 2.
Have a great trip, wish I could go down for a second attempt.

85-95L quad for the o-coast will cover you 90% of the time.

Yeah that's exactly what my Grandma would say too. Like you, she was also careful with her pennies and missed a lot of good S swell days at the Cape because of it.

Why would I want a wave quad? Sounds like a very specialized board, no?

I've got a 80 L Starbrd Evo so I thought I'd like something besides that for 20 knots and lighter winds... Something that will serve me in CB and Pipers, too.

I tried a 95 L (the mistral syncro) and it didn't feel much bigger than the Evo.

Maybe the playboard (90-95L??) will do for now??

A multi-fin board feels way more planted and handles chop far better as things get radical and gnarly. So for instance I can take my 85L quad from slogging 5.2 in 13-14 knots up to overlit holy shit cape 3.9 in 40+ knots and feel pretty ok. If I tried to do the same with my 91L FSW the thing would get pretty bouncy, sketchy, unruly and just plain unpleasant above 25 knots in open ocean conditions. At Nitinat where there is less confusion the FSW can take more wind, but a high-wind day at Pistol or the Cape and the difference is apparent.

So - 85-95L Quad for wave riding and real ocean B+J/onshore waves, 90-110L FSW for the lake and messing around. Two board solution that covers you off for 95% of your days.
