Waveplay at Netarts L3, 2-6-22

This trip is limited to members with a wet exit certification (except for level 1 trips when the paddler is not using a spray skirt....if the paddler is wearing a spray skirt on a level 1 paddle, the Wet Exit Certification is REQUIRED).  To successfully register you will need to sign into your OOPS member account, and your account will need to be a member of the "Wet Exit Certified" group if you intend to wear a spray skirt.  Your acceptance is conditional on approval by the Organizer, who may contact you with questions about your skills and equipment.  If the measured water temperature is different enough from that listed below to warrant a change in required immersion protection, the Organizer will contact all participants and the Trips Board member with the update at least a day before the trip.

Full Name: Jasper Greve
Activity Title: Waveplay at Netarts L3, 2-6-22
Date of Activity: 2/6/2022
Narrative: Come play in the waves with us! A reasonably small day outside ( 6 foot swell forecasted ) and incoming tide during the day make the mouth of Netarts Bay a nice place to practice level 3 launches/landings, play around in the clapotis, and maybe catch some waves!

We'll launch and land at the Netarts Bay boat launch, do some warming up exercises on our way to the mouth and explore different play spots at the mouth. Bring a lunch for a nice ocean view picnic!

This trip will be wait-list only as we want some control over the groups skill level. Feel free to contact us if you are not sure if your skill level is appropriate for this trip.
