VANCOUVER ISLAND WINDTALK

How come Kus hasn't chimed in on this yet? Retired? Gave up? Picked up rollerblading?

markus is more of an action guy less talk. i am sure the lone wolf will be down there sometime before, after and possibly while we are there. though not necessarily at the same beach or campsite.
i am looking forward to the adventure! [smilie=beer.gif]

Hope to see you guys at Pistol this year. It would be fun to have some of the local talent representing during the contest . Great time to go always fun conditions and lots of room to sail. See you this spring.

If Kus doesn't reply to this thread, I'm not going.

The lack of local wind over the last year must have ruined people's stoke.. last years edition of the Oregon thread got way more action. Where is the up island and mainland contingent on this? What about Jellyfish? Admission is FREE folks!

Although we can't do it till the end of the month, after the contest, u can be sure we'll be there. I have a half filled pizza card from the Gold Beach Pizza joint to use up.

The end of June is out for me again this year due to work requirements. I have a long stretch off starting mid July and hope to connect up with whoever will be down there late July/August.
Hope to get some practice in this weekend if the forecast holds

For those interested - I Just got word that there will again be a SUP contest held in conjunction with the Pistol Contest.

too bad you won't be there.

I feel exactly the same way! Somehow the week I did last summer was strangely 'different' without Kus' presence!

Thankfully someone turned the wind back on! 5 sessions in the last 5 days here on the mainland (nice to meet Oz briefly at Acadia on Monday - I heard he threw down a forward clinic just after I left ) with the last being White Rock - East Beach yesterday (Mar 20). There were a few over head high, thick, dumping, Oregon-coast-like waves out there in the hallow near the pier! We are doing our 'homework' (as best we can)!

Alton has been promoting the AWT event for months now here on the mainland, so there are likely to be at least 10 mainlanders headed down for the event.

I have been jones'n for Oregon Coast since I left last summer (even while in Maui in August - family trip ), timing is 'difficult - another family trip from June 28 onward , soooooo that leaves early to mid-June for me, or as Kus suggested in one of his posts, 'don't forget about September'.

I have set an intention, I will keep my options open, and I will watch the weather forecast, I will sail the Oregon coast again this year. The power of positive thinking!

I just hope there are some of the BWD crew there at the same time (especially Kus)!!!

I've semi Officially set aside June 15 - to July whenever. Going to do the SUP contest, probably the Windsurf one too, then hang around until everyone comes down.

This comment has nothing to do with Oregon...

C36, those are some awesome shots from White Rock! I tried to snap a few pictures as I was leaving, but yours are way nicer .

Wow, that big concrete pipe section thing in the shore break looks hazardous! Why is that sitting there?

Eats fins too, Dave had to do a repair job for me last year after I hit that thing. I wish they would get rid of it.

Looking forward to the Oregon coast trip again this year. As Dave said there should be a bunch of us from Vancouver going down. I'm planning on being there around the competition maybe a few days before and after.
