Here's a good starting point.

Generally good surf, but it's cold, sharky and is crawling with inbred locals who have a penchant for fucking up cars w/ out of state license plates.

Punani pretty much summed up Seaside, OR but there are many other places with friendly folks - but it is cold and sharky. Have your buddy contact the local Surfrider chapter there - they'd be a big help.

There are sharks, but nobody has ever died of a shark attack in Oregon (and there's 100+ surfers in the water on a typical summer weekend at short sands).

It's not THAT sharky. The only problem is the beach and mountain are the same distance from Portland, which makes for some difficult decision making on cold clear days. There's also sweet riversurfing here .

thanks, provided some links he wasn't aware of yet.

Does anyone remember when the dude got chomped at Short Sands in 1992? I do. I also remember the Haystack attack.

There are a lot of sharks in Oregon, you just don't see them that much.

[F#*k you cat]

I would suggest Short Sands
and Pacific City for longboard

Shortboard hit Cannon Beach or Seaside cove for the Lefties
