Kiting & Surfing the Oregon Coast

Off to New Zealand


The waves and wind cooperated last week on the Oregon Coast for a fun week of kiting and surfing. The swell was reading nine foot twelve seconds on Friday. It blew Wed. and Thurs. around thirty knots. I pulled into some nice waves on my kiteboard. A family of sea lions breached right next to me while I was riding far off the coast. I almost had a heart attack. It was a perfect Oregon Coast weekend with great wind and waves. I've been working and training hard the past months in Aspen, so it was nice to take a break and enjoy the coast with my family. I surfed all weekend, trying to get fit for New Zealand surf in a few weeks.

I head off to New Zealand for training camp tonight. I'll be near Wanaka training the next few weeks. I'm excited to get back on-snow and get ready for the winter ahead. Looking forward to seeing my teammates and friends again and riding together. I understand New Zealand is enjoying an epic winter. I'm planning to visit one of my favorite waves after camp for a week on the North Island of New Zealand. I'll keep you posted from training camp in New Zealand. Enjoy the surf pics from last week!
