Nelscott Where?

I always wonder when people say they have 'discovered' a new wave. It was always there. The only new thing is that someone saw it and took out a jet ski and ... rode it. So it is with Nelscott Reef in Oregon. This rolling behemoth has been right in the middle of everything for years. Only now there is a contest, and jet skis and corporate sponsors and ... great photos. [ View the 2007 Gallery. ]

Michael Halle's Oregon

Last year Michael graciously let me use the photo above in my web announcement for a non-profit surf camp. Since that time I have been following Michael's work with keen interest, hoping for more of Oregon's jagged, powerful surf scene. While Mr. Halle spends most of his time up at the mountain skiing, he has found a few weekends to pull out the long lens camera at some of Oregon's favorite surf spots. [ View portfolio. ]
