As I&#8217;m not into the hardcore drysuit surfing amidst chucks of ice on Lake Superior&#8217;s North Shore I don&#8217;t get much time on the waves here, but I love to travel to surf spots that are good for beginners like me.  I say &#8220;good for beginners&#8221; as there are a lot of great surf spots that are either too challenging for me, or the spot is local-controlled.  The last thing I want on a surfing vacation is to get yelled at or beat up for surfing the wrong break or for accidentally cutting off someone I didn&#8217;t see, or to not be able to get a wave because I&#8217;m not high enough in the pecking order.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, I was thrilled to read Elissa Pfost&#8217;s article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patagonia.com\/web\/us\/patagonia.go?slc=en_US&amp;sct=US&amp;assetid=38639\" target=\"_blank\">Thrown<\/a> in the latest Patagonia catalog.  I won&#8217;t tell you too much about it (as you should read it yourself), but I will say it makes me even more interested in traveling to and possibly living in Portland, OR.  I&#8217;ve been fascinated with Portland for a while now because the city is very environmentally conscious and has a large biking community, has a reputation for being very laid back and has all the beauty that the Pacific Northwest has to offer.  Now I have one more reason to check out Oregon.  Thanks Elissa!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I live in Minnesota, it might surprise you to learn that I love to surf.
