Oregon Surf

Surfing has always been as much a community as it has been a sport. Surfers have a culture all their own and being a surfer doesn’t end when you leave the beach. Surfers have always gathered together on the major surfing beaches of the world and also in surf shops, but the internet has opened up a whole new world of networking opportunities for surfers. Via the internet, surfers can exchange stories with other surfers about waves (or sharks), check out the wave report in many different area, arrange to meet to surf, tips of the trade, learn about surfing competitions, and much more. Surfers have taken to the internet in droves to meet their fellow surfers, but one of the largest and best organized surfing groups online has to Oregon Surf. Oregon Surf is one of the oldest surfing communities online, and it has a wide range of resources available on its website to surfers in the Oregon area and beyond.

About Oregon Surf

Oregon Surf was started in 1996 by a surfing enthusiast, and since then the site has grown in leaps and bounds. The Oregon Surf page has become THE meeting point for surfers in Oregon and along the entire Pacific Coast, as well as for surfers who hope to head out to Oregon to try out the surfing. The Oregon Surf groups and message boards are actively used by surfers to chat about all kinds of issues regarding surfing, from shark sightings to environmental concerns, as well as issues specifically related to Oregon. The website has a plethora of information for new surfers just trying to learn the basics and it also has constantly updated Oregon surf reports giving surfers a heads up about where the waves are. The site recommends Oregon surf spot as well.

The popularity of the Oregon Surf board has also lead to the creation of the online Oregon Surf Board Shop and the Oregon Surf Sports shops. Through this online shop, the Oregon Surf group sells their own boards, t-shirts, stickers, shoes and more, as well as gear from other popular surfing gear manufacturers.

Shark Sightings

The Oregon Surf website is actively engaged with the Pacific Coast Shark News Network in gathering information about sharks in the area. The website encourages all of its visitors to report any sharks they see while out surfing to the Pacific Coast Shark News Network, for the safety of other surfers as well as swimmers in the area.
