8.9.2025 | BEGINNER SURF OREGON COAST
Camp Yoshi Coastal Escape | Oregon Coast | August 9, 2025
Let’s catch a different kind of wave.
On Saturday, August 9, we’re rolling out to the Oregon Coast for a beginner-friendly surf and beach day built the Camp Yoshi way. No pressure, no pros—just pure vibes, salty air, and a slow-burn kind of magic. We’ll kick things off with a surf lesson, float it out for a couple hours, and then post up for a beach lunch and coastal recharge. All gear and transport? Covered. You? Just show up ready to move different.
THE WHY
The Oregon Coast is a whole ecosystem in motion—rugged cliffs, thick old-growth forests, wild sea stacks punching out of the water. You’re sharing the lineup with harbor seals, sea lions, eagles, and maybe even a gray whale sliding by. It’s raw. It’s wild. It’s everything a city weekend isn’t.
THE VIBE
Forget trying to look cool. We’re about showing up, laughing at the wipeouts, catching a win or two, and soaking up the coast with good people. Whether you’re up for every wave or just down to float, you’re winning either way.
Note: Got your own surf gear? Cool. We’ll hook you up with a $35 credit off your booking.
