Just another summer in Oregon

[–]EpicDonutsistaken 10 points11 points ago

I remember seeing this, actually. Dougs Beach!

[–]Hellrazor236 4 points5 points ago

Water? -5 degrees.

[–]CookieMakerTV 1 point2 points ago

Nah, more like +1 degree...3/4ml Suit? Nah, 4/5 :D

[–]Birdsunderground 2 points3 points ago

Wat.

[–]CookieMakerTV 0 points1 point ago

Wetsuit thickness.

[–]pintong 1 point2 points ago

I grew up here (HR). Awesome weather and insanely beautiful.

[–]dandy-pants 2 points3 points ago

Me too! I'd recognize that beautiful Columbia Gorge anywhere.

[–]prtlndr 1 point2 points ago

In the 70s HR was like Mayberry. Now its the #2 windsurfing destination in the world behind Perth. I miss my little home town.

[–]mildly_evil_genius 1 point2 points ago

Don't claim it all! The gorge is partially in Washington!

[–]Whirlwind691 -1 points0 points ago

Plus rain, we cant forget the rain and the oddly time it shows up.

[–]deja-vu-comment 70 points71 points ago

Damn it. This was one of those times where I was really hoping he'd land it because that would just be epic.

[–]ArsenalOwl 11 points12 points ago

That must have been fun as hell up until that point.

[–]t_hab 11 points12 points ago

I personally would have been shitting myself so much that it would not have been fun. Immediately after resurfacing, however, I would likely want to do it again to be able to enjoy it.

[–]sealrainbow 10 points11 points ago

Higher Marge higher!

[–]flakadiablo 4 points5 points ago

WINDSURFING ON REDDIT. Just made my day. And for anyone wondering that is Dale Cook at Doug's Beach on the Columbia River (Oregon/Washington border). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqjM68ZRg70

[–]Duffong 0 points1 point ago

If you ever see these guys... it's amazing. Love that you knew what this was. I never thought that a wind surf board could kick up rooster tails.

[–]TreesRNoMakeMeDumb 4 points5 points ago

No one told you windsurfing was cancelled?

They're on different subreddits and they don't have the same captions, chill out bro!

[–]Emblematic 34 points35 points ago

I never saw it before. Enough people upvoted it because they didn't see it before. Why are reposts a bad thing?

[–]fanifan 2 points3 points ago

I've seen it before, but the caption my me lol so hard! XD

[–]Meatwad555 -1 points0 points ago

I liked it better without the caption.

[–]Gromitt42 -1 points0 points ago

Right back at you buddy.. right.. back.. at you....

[–]bloodfail 1 point2 points ago

I haven't seen it. Shut up.

[–]post_this_elsewhere -3 points-2 points ago

I was about to repost this list lol. GifSound should be removed since they actually try to repost with different sounds/music.

[–]Fliff42 15 points16 points ago

Spicy Tac0, you make me physically ill. Your presence is offensive to the wold. You are a reposter, aka the minions of Hitler that stalk Reddit trying to regain the karma he lost in life.

[–]PineappleMucas 6 points7 points ago

But aren't cross posts allowed? Or not frowned upon at least?

[–]Fliff42 3 points4 points ago

He's just trying to please his master. Don't fall for his schemes.

[–]BeyondCR 1 point2 points ago

BURN THE WITCH I SAY!

[–]Fliff42 1 point2 points ago

HE TURNED ME INTO A NEWT!

[–]Proditus 0 points1 point ago

Cross posts are fine usually if it's a relevant topic and they either link to the original or state from the beginning that it's a cross post. This one was an uncredited cross post to the most catch-all subreddit.

In his defense, I haven't seen it before, but then again there are a lot of things I haven't seen that could hold my attention for no more than 5 seconds too. Most of them, I'd wager.

[–]t_hab 1 point2 points ago

I think the appropriate rediquette for that is to mention that it's a cross-post in the title, but I could be wrong. Either way, I enjoyed seeing the dude hang on for dear life.

[–]jailspank 1 point2 points ago

Looks like the gorge. Super great winds there

[–]IMakeIce 1 point2 points ago

It is. Doug's Beach, looking toward the Oregon side of the river.

[–]FriedChicken 1 point2 points ago

Love Windsurfing.

[–]alclarkey 1 point2 points ago

That.... Looks hella fun.

[–]Comment_karma_only 0 points1 point ago

Even though it's a repost, I haven't seen it. And I had a pretty bad day so this was kinda the highlight.

[–]netpastor 0 points1 point ago

that's the columbia gorge. insane chinook winds.

[–]lamorsa92 0 points1 point ago

Those are a pair of rather odd things for your people to need of you. Well, one at least..

[–]Hahns0l0 0 points1 point ago

The gorge- love it! Windsurfing rocks!

[–]flickrjeff 0 points1 point ago

He shouldn't have let go

[–]Blick 0 points1 point ago

I say this would be a fun experience on first view.

I put myself there in my mind on second view.

I get scary flashbacks to falling dreams on third view.

This would not be fun.

[–]Hyperian 0 points1 point ago

i would try to hold on to it to steer it so i can land back on the ground

[–]About20Pandas 0 points1 point ago

Your people needs Shit?

[–]BigAndDelicious 0 points1 point ago

I went into a coughing fit from laughing. I need to go outside :(

[–]Windadct 0 points1 point ago

I never windsurfed with a helmet until I went there - shit falls out of the sky all the time.

[–]gerbilsandgerms 0 points1 point ago

[–]Ninjatree 0 points1 point ago

Imagine what an incredible feeling it was surfing the wind

[–]Spicy_Tac0[S] -1 points0 points ago

Didn't realize it was a x-post until afterwards... sowie Reddit

[–]NightOwl58 -5 points-4 points ago

I was not expecting that at all. Chuckled a bit. Have an upvote.

[–]FreeSkier -1 points0 points ago

Looks like Nicola lake in BC. Nicola lake is known for its windsurfing and was listed as the second best spot in North America

[–]IMakeIce 2 points3 points ago

Doug's Beach, Columbia River Gorge, looking toward Oregon.

[–]Defenestratio 1 point2 points ago

This gif just gained a whole 'nother layer of meaning. Oregon?! That water's got to be absolutely freezing!

[–]IMakeIce 1 point2 points ago

The gorge regularly sees week long 100+ degree weather and windsurfers all wear wetsuits anyway. The Columbia isn't too bad in the summer; most days it's refreshing. Its tributaries are other stories. The White Salmon actually consists mostly of liquid helium.

[–]Defenestratio 0 points1 point ago

I don't care how warm it is outside, without exception the West Coast's waterways are always bloody cold no matter the time of year. I grew up in Australia, where you could actually go in the water most of the year without freezing your tits off.

[–]IMakeIce 0 points1 point ago

We call that "sissy" 'round these parts.

[–]kalsyrinth 0 points1 point ago

Due to the rotation of the Earth! The oceans all spin more or less clockwise in the northern hemisphere, so west coasts are cold as balls and wet and rainy, and east coasts are much warmer and are more dry. This is also true in the southern hemisphere, but the oceans go counter-clockwise.

Cold water moves from the poles on the west coasts, and warm from the equator on east coasts
