La 2012 Pistola riu Wave Bash
People naturally tend to expect the next one to be even bigger and better and more widely attended than the last one. Better wind, bigger waves, more pros, more prizes, and live internet coverage? Well expect away. Count on it even. Building on the momentum of the last two year’s events, look for even more support from the local town and the global industry. I, per descomptat, with that comes an even bigger pool of talent bringing it with the state of the windsurfing art.

La 2010 event was the first full blown windsurfing contest on the Oregon coast in a decade — a resurgent throw down put on by a formerly unknown event promoter who had never even been to Pistol. Bé, now she has, she loved it and she’s coming back. If this might be your first trip to Pistol and you want to get a feel for the place (and you’ve been living in a press deprived cave this last year), you might want to check the coverage of last year’s event by every English speaking Windsurfing magazine as well as the French mag and some major online coverage.

Sure Pistol is a little out of the way but that’s one of the things that gives the place that edge of civilization feeling. It’s fairly equidistant from San Francisco or Portland so you can take your pick if you are flying in. And the drive from either direction has much magic and opportunity to shred on the way. From PDX, vostè pot dirigir-se a la costa en qualsevol lloc entre allà i Eugenio per buscar oportunitats de primera com Newport, Florència, Bandon, De Rett Creek i l'embarcador de Rogue per a la navegació en el camí,. Des SFA, els favorits són Crissy Field, Waddell, Scotts i Davenport, just al sud, a continuació, Cap Mendocino en el camí a la pistola. Camping és, per descomptat, sempre en la seva entrada. Però si li sembla una visió expansiva de l'oceà des de la seva jacuzzi privat, bé, a més del patrocini de gràcia pel Inn of the Beachcomber, Ted també està oferint descomptes en una taula de windsurf per a aquells que prefereixen totes les comoditats. Per no parlar d'una càmera de platja totalment èpica de la zona de surf just davant del seu hotel hi ha a Gold Beach.

Pistola té una ben merescuda reputació per part de la gnarliest vela que es trobarà. Bufa fort i el vent augmenta un munt. El paisatge és la mandíbula poderosa, així dropingly. La localitat estima els amants del windsurf i la pistola té una llarga i colorida història del lliurament de la mercaderia en el moment del concurs. Per descomptat, Riu pistola és el més proper que pot tenir una garantia total de que obtindrà del vent per a un esdeveniment i est de la Costa Sud Shredfest promet ser un monstre.
