Seaside, Oregon Locals Are Still Hard at Boardistan

Seaside, Oregon Locals Are Still Hard

By The Editors December 2nd, 2009.

Yep, the locals in Seaside, Oregon are still there. They’re still hard and tough. And they still don’t want anyone else to surf their frozen cold waves. They’ll get no grief from us. But that’s not the case with the local KGW.com news crew.

When KGW photographers and a reporter arrived to the Cove of Seaside, two surfers warned them not to take their cameras out to the Point and take pictures. . . They encountered several surfers –some polite, others irate. . . One surfer stood in front of the photographer’s camera and blocked the lens with his hands. . . “We don’t like cameras taking pictures here,” the man said.

We wouldn’t want thousands of people flocking in for ice-cream headaches either.

So, on my next trip down the coast making photographs I will stop here.

If I get assaulted I will shoot a surfer in self defense…. with a smith and wesson not a camera…

then perhaps they will back off…
screw ‘em I say….

Lame. These guys are really dumb. The fact is that wetsuit technology is getting so good these days that most people are just now realizing that ice cream headaches are a thing of the past. this spot and many like them are getting crowded because the cold water is not really an issue these days…LOL. these idiots just challenged everyone to go check out how good the place is…and now even the cops are on alert, they just ruined themselves. I go to portland all the time and have been to the point on a few occasions but it was either blown out or recovering from being blown out. I am telling everyone to go there. I know it gets good, now im going out of my way to surf there!
See you guys in the water…Ill be the one dropping in deep!…without the standard Oregon stink-bug stance!

Seriously, they are. I lived there for 2 years, dating a surfer who surfed the point religiously. The locals are in their late 20′st to early 30′s and act like they’re 16 years old. They will fight you if you don’t come with a larger group. They run in packs. Only a couple of them are truly strong, the others need their friends back up. Like a pack of wolves, they all jump in! So come prepared, bring your friends and as someone else warned, don’t park in the surfers parking lot. That is the smaller lot closest to the point. They will wax your wind shields or break out your windows. But definitely go to the point. That is by far the most epic wave around. I’ve lived all over the coast of California too and the point is like no other! Don’t let this group of tools chase you off. You may notice also that quite a number of them act like they’re on something. They are… they like to smoke crack in Seaside. It’s an interesting group of people. Also don’t try to shag with any of the girls there. This town is infested with warts and herpes!! As I said, I lived there and know a lot of people. Learned WAY TOO much there. Surf the point. This spot is not very populated. It’s just the locals that go there. Only a few kooks actually don’t get messed with so give it a shot… but go prepared
