Surfing came to the central Oregon coast in the early 1960s. Mostly young boys from Newport and the Agate Beach area took to the waves; without wetsuits or leashes; and taught themselves how to surf in the forbidding cold waters. Eventually forming the Agate Beach Surf Club; they discovered other surfing communities along the Oregon coast. With no modern-day technology to help them; they traveled the rugged Oregon coast in search of good and accessible surf spots. Fifty years later; the surfing culture has grown and evolved; including both genders; kite; wind; stand-up-paddle; and big wave surfing. What hasn�t changed is the unique and challenging environment of the Oregon coast. Geography; the weather; and the cold water still remain the biggest challenges. In the face of all this; the surfing community grows and continues to prosper.

Paul Whites Basic audio seriesBy dpgoldSave your money and just get Paul Whites Creative Recording 1 2 books.Unfortunately I found out (too late) that these Basic series are a direct (and sometimes even a condensed) extract from the Creative Reading 1 2 books; which I already owned.Therefore the Basic series is a VERY expensive way to get access to all of Paul Whites great information found in Creative Reading 1 2 books.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. 101 version. Well done but outdated. Small and easy to carry for reading on the flyBy Customer101 version. Outdated and needs revision.Well written and easy to carry around as it is small.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Useful introBy Andrew ParnellGood intro but probably could do with using allot more Plain English to explain out the jargon a bit more. Theres a glossary at the back of the book which should be read first.
