Surf Talk Guru

Kayaking on the Oregon Coast is a great way to spend some time with the ones you love, weather its with your family members, friends, or that special someone. The Oregon coast is riddled with sea caves, sea life like whales, sea birds, and privet beaches that are only accessible from the ocean. With a Kayaking tour and/or lesson, you will be with a guide that will be able to take you to all of the secret sports and teach you all the essentials to kayaking.

As the sun shines more and spring approaches, we all get to thinking about our sunny summer days. If you have out-of-town friends and relatives that want to live it up for a day at the beach, go with them to rent booties, wetsuits, and boards for the day.

With Oregon surfboard rentals, you’ll be able to take your time, especially if you rent for a 24-hour period. That way, you can get in and out as many times as you want to rest, eat, warm-up, whatever. It’s also nice to hang out in your wetsuit when the north wind is nuking. The price is nice for a 24-hour rental, and if your guests want to do something different on a day at the beach, they’ll love it.

Make their day really special with a picnic lunch on the beach, random toys to entertain with (frisbees, volleyball, etc.) and end it with hot dogs and beers around the fire. But make sure they don’t leave one shred of litter on the beach!

After graduating from college last spring, I spent the summer lounging by the beach and mentally preparing myself for the “real world.” While much of each day was spend loafing around and sipping drinks, I also made a personal commitment to learn how to surf. Since I was a newbie, I searched around for used surfboards to save some of my much needed graduation cash.

Although I didn’t take any formal lessons, some of the locals were nice enough to give me some pointers. By the end of the summer I was no where near adept on the board, but I could adequately ride mid-sized waves. While I probably won’t get to put my surfing skills to use anytime soon, it was nice to at least do one thing that was somewhat productive over the summer.

Ocean Kayaks are sit-on-tops that will take you anywhere. The wildlife watching is fantastic in creeks, rivers, bays, lakes, and the ocean waves. If you go out at Depoe Bay, for example, there’s a chance you’ll see the sea otters that have surprised everyone by showing up on the Oregon Coast for the first time since 1906 when fur trappers killed them all off.

You can rent ocean kayaks or buy them used at the local surf shop. They’re a cheap and easy form of entertainment and excercise.

If you’re looking to buy a new surfboard, a good idea is to take advantage of the demo board option at your local surf shop. Most shops offer certain demo boards for a 24-hour period for around $30. These boards aren’t used, they’re new, only taken out for a day at a time for the express purpose of offering an experience on one brand or another.

You can usually try up to 3 demo boards, then put the cost you’ve paid (up to $90 or so) towards the price of a new surfboard, which you’ll hopefully be happy with since you have tested it out already. It’s a good way to try different styles and brands of boards, and to see which is right for you. Keep in mind that boards ride differently depending on where you’re surfing, the conditions that day, your weight and stature, and your experience level.

Ocean kayaks have a lot of fans, me included. I love how you can take them anywhere from the waves, the river, the bay, the creek, the sound. They’re easy to carry and travel around with. They’re overall a great toy to have. But I know they’re expensive ($350-$650). Plus, there’s so much gear you can buy to go with it: wet or drysuits, wall racks, seats, paddles, dry bags, it can end up costing a fortune (just like any hobby, I guess).

Some shops that rent and sell Ocean Kayaks, sit-on-tops, and yak boards have a rent-to-own option. You can rent a kayak for a day or 24-hour period, decide if you love it, then put the cost of the rental toward the price of a new or used kayak of your choice. It’s a good deal, like test-driving a car. With spring weather coming, the sun popping out once in awhile, it would be good to have another reason to get outside and enjoy it.
