Any surfers in Seattle??

Hey TW,

I just moved from San Diego to Seattle for a new job which was too good to pass up because it allows my wife to not work and stay home with our first son who will be born this summer.
Surfing has always been my reprieve and great passion so I'm hurting being this far from the beach.
I'm not afraid of cold water and plan to make trips to Westport or down to Oregon as much as possible.
Making this thread to hopefully get in touch with locals who share a love for the ocean.
I'm also into snowboarding, wake boarding and anything outdoors really.

Obligatory truck picture:

 

Guess not

 

Bumppp

 

I've surfed at westport before and it was super fun. I don't go regularly but I know there are some dedicated surfers here in WA. My buddy drives to westport from Seattle all the time when he can, aside from when he's flying around the world to surf.

 

Come back to San Diego and I'll surf with ya haha

 

Lol yeah in San Diego you're always looking to get away from others

 

Now we're talking. Seems like your buddy is my kinda guy.
I'm also down to just go wheeling and stuff. Do you live in Seattle too? I literally only got here 6 days ago so pretty much don't know anything

 

Wakesurfing is fun in the summer on Lake Sammamish. Lake Washington is overused, so you mostly need to go early in the morning. Obviously nothing like the ocean, but still fun.

 

I sail - water is a bit too cold for surfing, plus logs in the water etc - hit me up if you want to go wheeling out in Eastern WA

 

Yah man! Thanks for responding. I'm always down, only work Monday-Friday

 

I love wake boarding/surfing but I don't have a boat haha. I can operate and clean one but currently don't own one.

 

Which suspension did you run on your truck ? - looks just about right

 

Front: Icon extended 2.5" shocks with 700lbs 14" King coils and no preload.

Customized Dakar leaf pack with Icon 2.5" shocks out back

 

Went to surf Westport last weekend. Pretty underwhelming but for sure has potential if the conditions are right

 

Conditions were right last week. 6-8ft and some barrels. Only 2 other guys out. Fuck yeah!
Who wants to cruise with next time?

 

Hey there. Just moved to Tumwater from Imperial Beach. If you can stand to surf with a sup surfer I’m down for trips out to the coast.

 

U wanna ride a SUP in the winter at heaving beach breaks?

Yeah, I kinda wanna see that. If you can make it out on days like in my pic above you have my respect

 

I detect some sarcasm but I’ve surfed IB, OB, Cardiff, Churches, and spots in Oregon right at or just overhead on my SUP.

 

Not really! I say it how I see it!

Didn't make this thread to piss people off, made it to find folks to go surf with up here where I don't have surfing buddies yet!

PM me your number, I usually find some time to surf when it's on although Westport doesn't really work in the Winter. Maybe Groins or Half Moon Bay I guess but winds can be so strong that it sucks even when offshore.

I'm headed to the strait or van island next time.

You never ride regular boards? I know I hate hauling my log around and SUP has got to be so much worse

 

Ya no worries man. I’m used to it by now. I can’t surf a reg board because of back issues. The SUp has its positives and negatives but it’s better than not surfing at all. I used to live in northern Wa in my twenties and have surfed farther north a bit.. the strait it finicky.. Torino is supposed to be great. There’s also Neah Bay and La Push
