Doh

This is what happens when a little bit of snow falls in the portland area at rush hour. Bummer.

tasty

just a couple shots from over the weekend. Nothing special but tons of fun out there. Looked like summer but felt like the arctic. Perfect day for jerich's 1st session upon returning from the south west coast.

Same Old Story

If you haven't yet searched google news archives, you might be entertained by some of the old articles.

Go coastal or go postal

i cant seem to find the time
i cant seem to write a rhyme
long wet roads
make you want to explode
big fat dreams
cant seem to blow your steam
with no where to go
you've got nothing to show
fuck all your rhyming
its a drop in the bucket, gum on the sidewalk
dont hide your shame, put it on your skin
sounds shouldn't dictate, what you've got to say
Go get it, bite it, and shit it out again
nevermind the attention, its not an avenue of expression
give it up, throw it down, start over again

Dismal

Relatively

Hairy this weekend

Plenty

The great thing about surfing oregon, look at all those different peaks out there. I mean, that break could hold like 350 surfers and nobody would have to share a wave.

Secret's Out

Place will be packed now.

Damn webcams

I was all stoked about surfing today. Been thinking about it all week, hoping the conditions would pan out. Then, i checked the webcams and it killed my stoke. I would have been better off showing up to see the shitty surf in person, instead i judged it my a single photograph. Another reason to get rid of cams all together (for the valleys). Coasties are now thinking "we gotta get more cams, man!"

see that, tricked ya, reverse psychology.

Rod Run

To the End of the World

I'll have to admit...

I love the Suzuki Samurai. Compact, fuel efficient, goes anywhere...

SShots

The paddle out...




Still trying to figure out the camera.

Daniel trying to get into one...

Wonderland

Saw one of these on a classic car and thought "wow thats cool".

Holy Heat!

with the temps shooting over 100 in the valley, getting to the ocean is a must. I picked up an ebay refurbished olympus 850sw (ebay) for some water shots. I have yet to get the hang of it but im getting there. As far as taking water shots goes, you have to either shoot or surf so i chose the latter! Hey, it still works after getting hit with a few sets so im happy.

Cool me down

One of my favorite spots.

Gale is such a bitch

haaaa!
so much time to kill this weekend. The surf is not up.

Getting there

I've been on the prowl for a decent dual sport lately and got to thinking about how to transport my board(s) on it. I grew up on dirt bikes so making one street legal, fabbing a rack on the side and taking places where even your typical 4x4 can't go is the ultimate dream for me. Its been done and documented here (likely on many other occasions as well)
