From the Californian border up through Oregon and Washington there are miles and miles of beaches. The water is cold and the sharks are big... and if you want isolation you'll be able to find it here. But if you want crowds, well you'll be able to find them also - as there are very active surfing populations up and down this wild coastline.

changing it up - Iv'e been living in Ashland for a while(yeah, long commute to the waves)and been riding a longboard for the last three years - now my curiosity want's to learn to ride a shortboard. I haven't met any shortboard surfers yet to point me in the right direction which is why I ask. Stay in Oregon? or is venture necessary to find those kind of waves?

- go to short sands, just south of seaside. you will LUV it. Trully one of the most beautiful beaches on the oregon coast. Within the area (20-30min) are a few shops that rent and sell.

short board in or - U can definatlly ride a short board here in oregon I have a 6'10" and a 6'4" and between the two I ride almost every where but u better get ready to take some punishment on a short board u live and die in the zone and paddeling u can take ten strokes and move 2 feet not exactlly crusing but the ride is what its all about it tricky and challenging my dog can ride a 9' but people who really enjoy surfing usually ride something in the 6' range depending upon height and weight. I learned on a longboard like most folks and unless im surfing with a chick or my dog I ride a short board
